LORENZO LOTTO

This book traces the artistic and existential story of Lorenzo Lotto (1480-1556), a painter who was not only unique in the history of Italian art, but European art as well. He was an unprecedented genius who revealed his own soul, not detached from his characters , but alive and living within them (Zampetti 1953), the protagonist in a provincial environment consciously chosen in contrast to t he attraction of the great art producing centres.
