{"product_id":"angel-pieta-lorenzo-lotto","title":"Angel Pietà - Lorenzo Lotto","description":"\u003cp\u003eA poignant High Renaissance lunette by Lorenzo Lotto, depicting the dead Christ supported by two angels, originally created for the Santa Cristina al Tiverone altarpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lunette, painted by Lorenzo Lotto in 1505, originally formed the crowning element of the polyptych commissioned for the church of Santa Cristina al Tiverone. The composition depicts the dead Christ supported by two angels, a subject known as the Pietà. Lotto, a Venetian painter active during the High Renaissance, demonstrates his characteristic psychological sensitivity and use of dramatic light within this confined, semi-circular space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central figure of Christ is rendered with a focus on anatomical realism, his body slumped in death yet held upright by the flanking angels. The artist employs a sombre palette, dominated by deep shadows and muted earth tones, which directs the viewer's attention to the pallor of Christ's skin. The angels, draped in flowing garments, provide a contrast to the stillness of the central figure. Their expressions are marked by a quiet, contemplative sorrow rather than overt theatricality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLotto was known for his departure from the more rigid, classical norms of his contemporaries. In this work, the arrangement of the figures within the arch reflects his ability to adapt to specific architectural constraints while maintaining a sense of emotional weight. The lighting is directional, creating strong contrasts that define the musculature and the folds of the fabric. This piece provides insight into the early development of Lotto's style, showing his transition from the influence of Giovanni Bellini towards a more personal, emotive approach to religious narrative. The work remains a significant example of early sixteenth-century Italian devotional art, capturing a moment of stillness and grief through precise brushwork and careful composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pilate-washing-his-hands-luca-giordano\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePilate Washing His Hands - Luca Giordano — Luca Giordano\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lorenzo Lotto","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455034200399,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455058121039,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455058153807,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455058186575,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455058219343,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455058252111,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455058284879,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455058317647,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455058350415,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455058383183,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455058415951,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455058448719,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Angel-Piet-_Poster_CompositorV1_1786241830519.jpg?v=1786484276","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/angel-pieta-lorenzo-lotto","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
