In questo saggio sulla New Iconology l'autore affronta il ruolo che lo stile assume nell'opera di Mantegna, discutendo questo alla luce della geologia e dell'archeologia. L'interesse per l'opera d'arte come oggetto e come immagine è al centro della ricerca teorica; l'approccio artistico intreccia l'antropologia, e i Visual Studies, attraverso quel principio di azione che Alfred Gell chiama agency. L'Autore in questo saggio discute come Mantegna nelle sue opere d'arte produce agency e come attraverso lo stile e la materialitaà dell'opera esprime la propria intenzionalità all'interno del contesto artistico e culturale del suo tempo.
