Lorenzo Lotto was an Italian painter and traditionally included in the Venetian school, though he spent much of his career in other northern Italian cities. He was active during the High Renaissance and the first half of the Mannerist period. He mainly painted altarpieces, religious subjects and portraits. Although his nervous and eccentric poses and distortions in his work represent a transitional stage to the Florentine and Roman Mannerists, his works generally maintained a style similar to that of the High Renaissance throughout his career.
Lotto
was a respected painter during his lifetime and was certainly a popular painter
in Northern Italy. He is traditionally included in the Venetian school, but
based on his independent career, he is actually included outside the Venetian
art world. Because of his stylistic individuality and idiosyncratic style, he
was not as highly regarded in Venice as in the other cities where he worked.
After his death, Lotto gradually became neglected and eventually almost
forgotten in people's memory. These people's oblivion about him can be guessed
by the fact that his works now remain in lesser-known churches or provincial
museums.
