Lorenzo Lotto was an extremely idiosyncratic personality, which was also evident in his art. He is generally regarded as a painter of the High Renaissance, but always retained a very individual style. Although he was influenced by the Venetian school, he spent much of his career in various other northern Italian cities. Their influences were also evident in his works. Lotto's education probably began in his hometown Venice. Although there is no clear evidence of this, he was probably a student of Alvise Vivarini. However, he was most likely influenced by Giovanni Bellini, which is particularly evident in the painting "Virgin with Child and Saint Jerome". Giorgiones probably also played an important role, whose influence is reflected in Lotto's early works and especially in his portraits. Due to his later years in other northern Italian cities, his style changed during these years. At this time, he seems to be more oriented towards Correggio.
Lotto already left his hometown as a young painter. It was probably due to the great competition from other emerging artists such as Giorgione, Tizian and Palma the Elder. Between 1503 and 1525 Lotto lived and worked in Treviso, Recanti, Rome, the Marche region and Bergamo. He then returned to Venice for a few years, where he first lived in the Dominican monastery of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. But only a few months later he had to leave the monastery due to a fierce dispute with the painter Mrs. Damiano da Bergamo. In Venice Lotto received many lucrative commissions, as the city was extremely prosperous. Although he was well filled with commissions, Lotto could not match the popularity and prestige of Titian, who was the dominant artist in the city at the time. Titian's style also had an impact on Lotto, who began to paint in bright colors like him. But Lotto retained his own touch of powerful depiction of emotions. His works became increasingly narrative and dramatic, as in the "Annunciation" or "Madonna enthroned with four saints".
Lotto's career and works are a reflection of his personality. He was considered a very nervous, spirited and restless person. It was difficult for him to stay in one place for a long time or to enter into longer relationships. When one of his paintings could not be sold at auction in 1550, Lotto is said to have been deeply dismayed and disillusioned. He was less and less able to sell paintings, which caused him financial problems. In order to make a living, he took on simple tasks that probably understretched the skills of an artist. He had to paint numbers on hospital beds, for example. When his eyesight began to fail, the deeply religious Lotto entered the Basilica de la Santa Casa in Loreto as a lay brother. He was unable to complete his last work there, "Presentation in the Temple", before his death.
