Mantoue, une des cités d’art les plus brillantes d’Italie née de la vision d’une seule famille les Gonzague, a été tour à tour la ville d’artistes aussi prestigieux que Pisanello, Mantegna, Alberti ou Jules Romain. Manquait un ouvrage célébrant l’apport urbanistique et artistique de la cité qui en fait un musée à ciel ouvert. Cette monographie se propose de fournir une analyse attentive des phases les plus importantes de l’histoire artistique de la ville grâce à une iconographie riche et variée, retraçant les épisodes majeurs de son histoire culturelle. L’histoire de Mantoue est intimement liée aux Gonzague, famille qui l’a gouvernée pendant près de quatre siècles (1328-1708). Au XVe siècle, Pisanello, arrivé de Vérone, décora le palais des princes de Mantoue, peu après l’ancien aspect gothique de la ville était repensé dans un sens plus humaniste par Leon Battista Alberti, à travers ses projets majeurs pour les églises de Sant’Andrea et de San Sebastiano. En 1460, les Gonzague firent venir Andrea Mantegna de Padoue ; travaillant plus de 45 ans pour la ville ce peintre cultivé et inventif il lui donna sa position à l’avant-garde des grands centres de la Renaissance italienne. Parmi ses œuvres les plus fameuses, on trouve les fresques de la Camera degli Sposi (La Chambre des époux) et le cycle de grandes toiles illustrant Les Triomphes de César. L’apogée du prestige artistique de la ville coïncida avec l’arrivée de Rome en 1524 de Jules Romain, considéré à l’époque comme le plus talentueux élève de Raphaël. Durant les vingt années de son activité à Mantoue il réalisa des peintures et des cycles de fresque, des plans d’architecture et d’urbanisme, ainsi que des dessins pour les sculptures, les tapisseries, l’argenterie, les costumes et les décors de scène. Le Palazzo Te, peut-être son œuvre la plus connue composé d’architecture et de peinture décorative, entièrement conçu et créé ex novo ? où triomphent sans limite ? l’inventivité et l’imagination de l’artiste, est l’un des monuments majeurs de l’art maniériste du XVIe siècle. L’activité du Duc Vincent Ier (1587-1612) et de son fils le Duc Ferdinand (1612-1626) se fonda sur ce passé « mythique », apothéose culturelle de la Renaissance. Ferdinand chercha avant tout à enrichir la célèbre collection de la famille en achetant nombre d’anciennes sculptures et peintures, notamment la célèbre Mort de la Vierge du Caravage. La collection, installée – sur de précieux conseils de Rubens – dans de somptueuses pièces construites dans le palais ducal spécialement à cette occasion, fut en quelques années reconnue à travers toute l’Europe comme modèle de goût. La vente d’une partie de la collection des Gonzague à Charles Ier d’Angleterre (1626-27) et le pillage de la ville par les troupes impériales (1629-30) marqua un tournant dramatique dans l’histoire de la ville avant la domination autrichienne et la période napoléonienne qui marquèrent l’éclipse de Mantoue.

It looks really cool and striking.

Really cool and beautiful watch. Although my specific unit runs 5 seconds fast every day—at first it’s annoying, but eventually you stop caring. 🤣

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775. The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather." Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars. My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like. This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.
