Viac o knihe

Lorenzo Lotto (1480-1556 or 1557), a significant Venetian artist, greatly influenced the development of modern Italian art. His extensive body of work reflects a diverse range of styles and themes. Key locations in his artistic and personal journey include Venice, Treviso, the Marche region, Rome, and Bergamo. Despite his importance, many aspects of his life remain enigmatic. Questions linger regarding the reasons for his stay in Rome, the specific works he created for the Vatican stanze, and the role of mystical and hermetic writings in his art. The author delves into three main themes: Lotto's religious beliefs, his contributions to portrait art, and his status as a proto-baroque artist.
