Two Panels Of Mantegna Painting Reunited For First Time In At Least 300 Years

The lower half of the 1492 diptych, titled The Descent of Christ Into Limbo, has been owned by a private collector since 2003; the upper panel, The Resurrection of Christ, belongs to the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo and was only recently identified as Andrea Mantegna’s work. The pair will be displayed together beginning next month at the National Gallery in London.
