Ten paintings by the Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto at an exhibition in the Pushkin Museum

The Pushkin Museum. Pushkin, located in the central part of Moscow, on Volkhonka, on December 13 opens an exhibition at which visitors will continue to get acquainted with the paintings of masters of the Italian Renaissance. This time, the exhibition will feature works by the 16th-century Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto.

Earlier, the museum already showed the work of this famous artist, but these were only two portraits of his work. Today’s exhibition is much larger. According to the curator of the exhibition, Victoria Markova, so many paintings by Lorenzo Lotto have not yet been shown in Russia. Ten of the painter’s works that made up the exhibition were brought to Moscow from the collections of several Italian museums.

All the works of Lorenzo Lotto, presented to visitors of the exhibition, were written by the artist during the time he spent in the Marche region, where he visited more than once, performing various orders - altar paintings, icons, murals. A visit to the exhibition will open to connoisseurs of painting a unique artist whose work stands out from the works of Raphael, Titian and other famous Renaissance artists well-known to the general public.

Spectators who managed to see portraits of the work of the Venetian master exhibited in the museum, the new exhibition provides the opportunity to discover new facets of the work of Lorenzo Lotto. The emotionality of the composition with the scene of the Annunciation is achieved through the movement conveyed by color. At the exhibition, visitors will be able to see the last work of the great master, written by him a year before his death, “Bringing to the Temple,” as well as one of the artist’s famous portraits, “Portrait of Lucina Brembati,” created by Lorenzo Lotto around 1518.

The exhibition can be visited until February 10th.
