The altarpiece of San Luca was made for the church of Santa Giustina in Padua from 1453 to 1454 and was one of Mantegna first works, and shows a lack of coordination in the sizes of the figures. It was created in a moment of intense dialogue between the two brothers-in-law when Mantegna is marrying Giovanni Bellini’s sister Nicolosia. It demonstrates the adhesion of the monastery of Santa Giustina to the new Benedictine rule invented by Father Ludovico Barbo.
