Lorenzo Lotto

.


I was being a bit mischievous with my quiz about the painter of half a dozen paintings (see the 'Who's the Painter' post here). The images are details from my favourite renaissance painter Lorenzo Lotto's 16th century frescoes (1523-1524) in the Oratorio Suardi at Trescore, Italy.

From Wikipedia: Lorenzo Lotto (c. 1480 – 1556) was a Northern Italian painter draughtsman and illustrator, traditionally placed in the Venetian school. He painted mainly altarpieces, religious subjects and portraits. While he was active during the High Renaissance, he already constitutes, through his nervous and eccentric posings and distortions, a transitional stage to the first Florentine and Roman Mannerists of the 16th century.
