It had usually a long queue to get into the exhibition, fortunately, on the first few days after the reopening, perhaps not many people realised it, there was no queue at all, so I was able to see the exhibition without much trouble.
Andrea Mantegna (c. 1431 – September 13, 1506) was an Italian painter, a student of Roman archeology, and son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini.
Like other artists of the time, Mantegna experimented with perspective, e.g. by lowering the horizon in order to create a sense of greater monumentality.
His flinty, metallic landscapes and somewhat stony figures give evidence of a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting.
He also led a workshop that was the leading producer of prints in Venice before 1500.
Location : Palazzo Madama

Not having to fight the crowd would be a good thing in the past, and probably still is, truth be told..Glad you slipped in early. Thanks for a look.
Wow!
