The San Luca Altarpiece (1453) is a significant early Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna. This work is notable for its historical importance as one of Mantegna's first major commissions and for its innovative use of perspective and meticulous attention to detail, which are characteristic of Mantegna's style. The altarpiece was created for the church of Santa Giustina in Padua and is named after the patron saint of artists, Saint Luke, who is traditionally identified as a painter himself.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary enthroned, holding the Christ Child, and surrounded by saints. Saint Luke, often symbolized with a bull, is typically included in the scene, which may also feature other prominent saints of the time. Mantegna's work is distinguished by its architectural elements, which frame the sacred figures and demonstrate his mastery of perspective, a technique that was still relatively new at the time. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, adds a sense of volume and three-dimensionality to the figures.

The San Luca Altarpiece is celebrated for its iconographic complexity and the way it reflects the religious and cultural milieu of 15th-century Padua. Mantegna's work is also an example of the artist's ability to blend the influence of classical antiquity, which he studied extensively, with the Christian iconography prevalent in the art of his period.

Today, the San Luca Altarpiece is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a masterpiece of the early Renaissance. Its current location is the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. The altarpiece not only underscores Mantegna's technical skill but also provides insight into the devotional practices and artistic patronage of the Italian Renaissance.
