His works encompassed a wide range of subjects, from religious scenes to mythological narratives, showcasing his exceptional talent and attention to detail.

This masterpiece depicts a grand procession celebrating Julius Caesar's victory, while the Oculus showcases a stunning architectural illusion that adds depth to the scene. In his "Scenes from the life of Christ" series painted in 1463-64, Mantegna portrayed various episodes from Jesus' life with meticulous precision using tempera on panel technique. These artworks capture both emotional intensity and spiritual devotion. Mantegna's portraiture skills are evident in his work like "Portrait of Ludovico Gonzaga, " circa 1470.

Another remarkable piece by Mantegna is "Judith with the Head of Holofernes, " executed between 1495-1500.

"The Infant Savior, " created around 1460, portrays baby Jesus with exquisite tenderness on canvas using tempera technique. It exemplifies Mantegna's ability to depict divine innocence through subtle details and soft hues. Mantegna also showcased his mastery in narrative storytelling through paintings such as "David Holding Goliath’s Head. " Painted in 1490, this artwork captures David's triumph over Goliath with striking realism and intricate details that highlight Mantegna's skillful use of light and shadow.
