The Introduction of the Cult of Cybele at Rome is a painting in glue tempera on canvas by Andrea Mantegna. Measuring 73.5 cm by 268 cm, It was produced in 1505–1506 and is now in the National Gallery in London.[1] Like much of Mantegna's output after 1495 it is in monochrome, linked to contemporary sculpture and also part of the trend for illusion and trompe-l'œil favoured by the Mantuan court and especially by Isabella d'Este.
