Why it's great
The goddess Minerva chases vices out of a garden, a bunch of strange creatures, half man and half animal, who are fleeing. Andrea Mantegna painted it in 1487 for the study of a princess.

Andrea Mantegna was an Italian painter born in 1431 and was the court painter to the Gonzaga family in Mantua. His sharply drawn, statue-like figures and bold use of perspective were studied by many painters, including his brother-in-law Giovanni Bellini. He died in 1506.
