This is the story of the painting of Gonzaga and his household as depicted by Mantegna on the wall of the Bridal Chamber in the palace, and many of the characters - Marsilio the secretary, Nana the dwarf daughter of the house, Bernardino, young son of the painter - step forward to put in pieces of the elaborate puzzle of court intrigue and human relationships. Some were to end happily, others in violence and tragedy, but the whole tale is told here in an aura of the most enticng poetry and magic.
