Council of Mantua (1459)
The Council of Mantua of 1459,〔There was a Council of Mantua in 1064 and a Council of Mantua in 1537.〕 or Congress of Mantua, was a religious meeting convoked by Pope Pius II, who had been elected to the Papacy in the previous year and was engaged in planning war against the Ottoman Turks, who had taken Constantinople in 1453. His call went out to the rulers of Europe, in an agonized plea to turn from internecine warfare〔Though the Wars in Lombardy had been ended by the Peace of Lodi (1454), England was convulsed in the Wars of the Roses, and the Thirteen Years' War was pitting the Prussian cities and the local nobility against the Teutonic Knights, whose support would be crucial in any concerted action against the Turk.〕 to face Christendom's common enemy.
==Process of the Council of 1459==
Pius entered Mantua on 27 May; his long progress to the place of assembly resembled a triumphal procession. He opened the council on the first of June and waited in Mantua as the guest of Ludovico III Gonzaga until September for the various representatives to assemble. On 26 September he called for a new crusade against the Ottomans. The refugee Cardinal Bessarion and Cardinal Juan de Torquemada were in attendance. The Duke of Burgundy was represented at the Council by the duke of Clèves, who brought in his train the young Burgundian cleric Ferry de Clugny. The humanist Isotta Nogarola wrote and dispatched to Pope Pius an oration favoring a crusade.
The painter Mantegna had been invited to Mantua by Ludovico in 1457; although remaining in Padua, he painted the ''Agony in the Garden'' that is in the National Gallery, London, for its Podestà; in Mantegna's picture, the disciples sleep in Gethsemane, while Jerusalem is envisaged as Constantinople, with the rising crescent moon signifying its capture by the Turk.〔J. H. Whitfield, "Mantegna and Constantinople" ''The Burlington Magazine'' 119 No. 886 (January 1977), p. 41.〕 Long after the pope's death, the artist Pinturicchio painted the convocation of the council among the scene's from Pius' life on the walls of the Piccolomini Library in Siena Cathedral.
