The Scuderie of the Quirinal Palace are hosting a retrospective dedicated to the Venetian artist Lorenzo Lotto.  A series of articles in Corriere della Sera discuss the show which gathers together some 60 of Lotto’s works.  Lotto was always overshadowed by Titian and Rafael – Vasari only dedicated one page of his history to this artist.  In fact, Lotto’s works are notable for their colors, the contrasts between light and shadow, the movement in the composition and the psychological insight into his subjects.  The show is sure to be a blockbuster given that over 25,000 reservations to see it had been made prior to its opening!
