Spot! 20 minutes per work

The occasion of the exhibition Lorenzo Lotto at the Scuderie del Quirinale sees the return of Spot!, a date at aperitif time for the guided interpretation of a work of art. An itinerary in four steps through the works of this Venetian artist, comprising portraits and altarpieces of vivid colouristic effects.

Curated by the Educational-Art Workshop Services of the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, the event will take place each second Friday of the month, starting 11th March, and will be held by art historian Anna Maria Panzera.


Friday 11th March at 19.00
San Bernardino Altarpiece, 1521 Bergamo
Reminiscent of the evocations of Giambellino and Giorgione, Lotto sets the young Virgin's throne in the open air. A scene free of architectonic structures, where the fluent dialogue of the subjects accompanies the soft spread of the colours.

Friday 8th April at 19.00
Triple Portrait of a Goldsmith, 1530 Vienna
The tradition of mirror painting, in a triple portrait charged with hidden meanings. A story of friendship and a cultural dispute, a pictorial rebus of unprecedented compositional solution.

Friday 13th May at 19.00
Portrait of a Young Gentleman, 1530 Venice
Black, the colour of secret love. Green lizard, symbol of the lover's coldness. Closed letters and flower petals. One of the most famous images of melancholy. Some say that Lotto invented modern psychology.

Friday 10th June at 19.00
Annunciation, 1534-35 Recanati
An original way of approaching this sacred theme. The Annunciation is first and foremost the entrance of an intruder, albeit a holy one, as may be seen from the flight of a bristling cat and the amazed face of a woman caught in the intimacy of her own home, distracted from absorption in her reading.
