LOTTO, Lorenzo
(b. ca. 1480, Venezia, d. 1556, Loreto)

Young Man in a Striped Coat

1525-26
Oil on wood, 47 x 38 cm

This small portrait is one of the most refined and disturbing Lorenzo Lotto's works. The handling of the paint is meticulously and insistently perfect, while the oblique glance of the sitter penetrates the onlooker's eyes.
