Bishop Tommaso Negri
by LOTTO, Lorenzo, Oil on panel
In Venice, Lotto produced a series of brilliant portraits in which the depth of psychological exploration was unprecedented and the originality of conception, style, and deployment of pictorial resources was unsurpassed. The e portrait of Bishop Tommaso Negri belongs to this group, together with the Portrait of Andrea Odoni, the Portrait of a Young Man, and the Portrait of a Lady as Lucretia.
