Lorenzo Lotto was an Italian painter, draughtsman, and illustrator, traditionally placed in the Venetian school, though much of his career was spent in other north Italian cities. He painted mainly altarpieces, religious subjects and portraits. He was active during the High Renaissance and the first half of the Mannerist period, but his work maintained a generally similar High Renaissance style throughout his career, although his nervous and eccentric posings and distortions represented a transitional stage to the Florentine and Roman Mannerists.

The Gallerie dell'Accademia is a museum gallery of pre-19th-century art in Venice, northern Italy. It is housed in the Scuola della Carità on the south bank of the Grand Canal, within the sestiere of Dorsoduro. It was originally the gallery of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, the art academy of Venice, from which it became independent in 1879, and for which the Ponte dell'Accademia and the Accademia boat landing station for the vaporetto water bus are named. The two institutions remained in the same building until 2004, when the art school moved to the Ospedale degli Incurabili.

Christ taking leave of his Mother is a subject in Christian art, most commonly found in Northern art of the 15th and 16th centuries. Christ says farewell to his mother Mary, often blessing her, before leaving for his final journey to Jerusalem, which he knows will lead to his Passion and death; indeed this scene marks the beginning of his Passion. In early versions just these two figures are usually shown, at half-length or less.

<i>Portrait of a Young Man</i> (Lotto, Accademia) Painting by Lorenzo Lotto, c. 1530

Portrait of a Young Man or Portrait of a Gentleman in his Study is a painting by Lorenzo Lotto, created c. 1530, now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia of Venice, whose collections it entered from a private collection in 1930. It is known in Italian as Giovane malato, literally The Ill Young Man - the flower with leaves is thought to be a symbol of disappointment in love or an illness, perhaps melancholy. The subject also turns his back on worldly pleasures. More so than in other works produced around the same time by the artist such as his Portrait of Andrea Odoni, it shows Lotto moving beyond the influence of Titian with preciser definition of details and contours.

<i>Portrait of Brother Gregorio Belo of Vicenza</i> 1547 painting by Lorenzo Lotto

Portrait of Brother Gregorio Belo of Vicenza is a 1547 oil on canvas painting by Lorenzo Lotto, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It is inscribed bottom right "F. Gregorr belo de Vicentia / eremite in Hieronimi Ordinis beati / fratri Petris de Pisis Anno / etatis eius LV, M.D.XLVII". Its subject was a Hieronymite monk and so the image's iconography draws on that of the penitent St Jerome.

<i>Portrait of a Thirty-Seven-Year-Old Gentleman</i> c. 1543 painting by Lorenzo Lotto

Portrait of a Thirty-Seven-Year-Old Gentleman is an oil on canvas portrait by Lorenzo Lotto, now in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome. It was previously interpreted as a 1517 self-portrait of the artist, but its style does not match Lotto's style of the 1510s. It is now dated to c. 1543 due to stylistic similarities with works produced by the artist in the mid-1540s such as Portrait of Febo da Brescia and Portrait of an Old Man with Gloves.
