Lorenzo Lotto (ca. 1480-1556)

• Was an Italian painter, draughtsman and illustrator.
• He painted mainly altarpieces, religious subjects and portraits.
• During his lifetime Lotto was a well-respected painter and certainly popular in Northern Italy.
• He is traditionally included in the Venetian School, but his independent career actually places him outside the Venetian art scene. 
• Thanks to the work of the art historian Bernard Berenson, Lotto was rediscovered at the end of the 19th century.
• Since then, many monographs and several exhibitions have been dedicated to Lorenzo Lotto.
• Such as the exhibition in Venice in 1953 and one in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, USA, in 1998.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Lorenzo Lotto, Saint Catherine, 1522.
