Between Mantua, Goito, and Buscoldo, Mantegna spent the last forty-six years of his life in continual employment, broken only by a short visit to Florence in 1466, and another to Bologna in 1472, and by a longer residence in Rome between the years 1488 and 1490. During the latter period Innocent VIII. was Pope.
