Starting on October 16, Lotto’s work will be shown in Paris.
Echoing the Salviati exhibition at the Louvre in June 1997, we find ourselves in the presence of another major figure of Italian mannerism.
If Francesco Salviati extended the classic lesson of the Florentine masters, Lorenzo Lotto, born in 1480, is a part of the generation that saw the birth of Giorgione (1477/78) and Raphael (1483), and, to a lesser degree, Titian (1490).
Lotto brought fame to Treviso, Venice, Bergamo, and The Marches, but his was a tormented vision, accompanied by emotional instability, and profound inner questioning. |
