The San Zeno Polyptych is a celebrated Renaissance altarpiece painted by the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna between 1457 and 1460. Commissioned for the San Zeno Basilica in Verona, this masterpiece of early Renaissance art is renowned for its sophisticated use of perspective and exquisite attention to detail. The polyptych, which is a multi-panel painting, is composed of several sections that together form a cohesive religious narrative centered around the central figure of Saint Zeno, to whom the basilica is dedicated.

Mantegna's work on the San Zeno Polyptych showcases his mastery of both painting and sculpture, as he skillfully integrates three-dimensional illusionism within the two-dimensional panels. The altarpiece is divided into a central panel depicting the Madonna and Child enthroned, flanked by saints and angels, with smaller narrative scenes above and predella panels below. The upper register features scenes from the life of Christ, while the predella includes episodes from the life of Saint Zeno.

The polyptych's innovative composition, with its architectural elements and use of foreshortening, reflects Mantegna's deep understanding of classical art and his interest in the revival of antiquity, which were hallmarks of the Renaissance. The altarpiece's figures are rendered with a sculptural solidity and a meticulous attention to the textures of fabrics and the play of light on surfaces, demonstrating Mantegna's keen observational skills.

Originally installed on the high altar of the San Zeno Basilica, the San Zeno Polyptych was disassembled during the Napoleonic Wars. While the main panel was returned to the basilica in the 20th century, some of the predella panels remain dispersed in various art collections. The work's historical significance and artistic excellence make it a key example of Mantegna's contribution to the development of Renaissance art and a valuable piece of Italy's cultural heritage.
