The Museo del Prado is presenting the first major monographic exhibition on portraits by Lorenzo Lotto, one of the most unique and fascinating artists of the Italian Cinquecento.

Co-organised with the National Gallery in London, it is benefiting from the sole sponsorship of Fundación BBVA and it is curated by Enrico Maria Dal Pozzolo of the University of Verona, and Miguel Falomir, director of the Museo del Prado.

This exhibition features 38 paintings, 10 drawings, a print and around 15 sculptures and objects similar to those depicted in the portraits. 

“Lorenzo Lotto. Retratos” also offers an unprecedented perspective on the artist’s works through the presence in the galleries of objects similar to those seen in the portraits, in a reflection of material culture of the day.

On the occasion of the exhibition, the Gallery Moshe Tabibnia has loaned an extraordinary example of a so-called "Lotto" carpet from the Zaleski Collection.
