Weknow that as early as 1448, when Mantegna wasonly seventeen years old, Squarcione made a con-tract with him for common work, which after-wards (1455) on Mantegnas demand was declaredby the court of justice null and void because he thenwas still a minor, and because he had been deceivedin the contract. Mantegna meantime had with-drawn himself from the dependence of Squarcione,and entered in artistic and personal connectionwith his masters rival, Jacopo Bellini, whosedaughter he married. For this he incurred theenmity of his late master, who is said to have blamedvery violently Mantegnas work in the chapel ofthe Eremitani. From an agreement betweenPietro Calzetta, one of Squarciones pupils, andBernardo Lazzara in 1466 we learn that the draw-ing of Squarcione which had to serve as the sketchfor Calzettas painting was really not by the handof the master but of that of Niccol6 Pizzolo. one of FRANCESCO SOUARCIONE.
