This richly illustrated catalog accompanies the first major monographic exhibition dedicated to the portraits of Lorenzo Lotto (c. 1480 – 1556/57), a distinctive figure of the Italian Renaissance renowned for his psychological insight and symbolic depth. Co-organized by the Museo Nacional del Prado and the National Gallery, London, the exhibition traces Lotto’s artistic journey across Venice, Treviso, Bergamo, Rome, and the Marches, showcasing works that span five decades of his career.
Lotto’s portraits are celebrated for their variety of typologies, the profound psychological portrayal of sitters, and the incorporation of objects that reflect the subjects’ status, interests, and aspirations.
This catalog delves into these aspects, offering scholarly essays that explore the technical, material, social, and iconological dimensions of his works, as well as a revision of the documentary sources essential for their study.
