Lorenzo Lotto's Madonna with St. Roch and St. Sebastian is a compelling example of a religious painting from the High renaissance period. Created on a wood panel, this altarpiece showcases Lotto’s characteristic blend of high renaissance clarity and his distinctive nervous, eccentric figures, which foreshadow the transition toward Mannerism. The use of oil paints enriches the vibrant colors and detailed textures.
