LOTTO, LORENZO, born at Bergamo or Treviso (?) about 1480, died at Loreto about 1554. Venetian school; sometimes called Il Bergamasco, from his long residence in Bergamo. Went early to Venice, where, according to Vasari, he was Palma's friend and assistant, and studied the works of Giovanni Bellini, and later those of Giorgione. He was one of the best of the second-*rate artists of his time. The oldest extant picture by him, a Madonna with St. Onofrius, Palazzo Borghese, Rome, is dated 1508, the date 1500 of the S. Jerome in the Desert, Louvre, being an obvious duplicate. A larger production of 1508 is the Madonna of St. Dominick, S. Domenico, Recanati, in which the drawing is precise and minute, the perspective correct, and the colours clear and pure. Of similar characteristics and of about the same time are: Madonna and Saints, S. Cristina, near Treviso; Marriage of St. Catherine, Munich Gallery; and Madonna and Peter Martyr, Naples Museum. His pictures after this period show a bolder approach to the manner of Palma and of Giorgione, e.g.: Madonna and SS. Anthony and Basil (1506), Duomo, Asolo; St. Jerome, Louvre; Madonna and Four Saints, Bridge-*water Collection; and the Three Ages, Palazzo Pitti, Florence. Other examples are the Entombment (1512), S. Floriano, Jesi; Transfiguration, Collegiata, Castelnuovo; Death of Peter Martyr, S. Pietro Martire, Alzano; Family Group, Portraits of Agostino and Niccolò della Torre (1515), National Gallery, London; Throned Madonna (1516), S. Bartolommeo, Bergamo; Madonna (1521), S. Bernardino, Bergamo; Madonna and Saints (1521), S. Spirito, Bergamo; Christ parting from his Mother (1521), SS. Christopher and Sebastian (1531), Berlin Museum; Marriage of St. Catherine (1523), Adoration of Sleeping Christ (1533), Bergamo Gallery; Portrait of Andrea Odoni (1527), Hampton Court; Glory of St. Nich-*
