Portrait of a Woman

"Portrait of a Woman" by Lorenzo Lotto, created around 1533 during the High renaissance period, is a remarkable portrait of a woman inspired by Lucretia. This oil on wood painting exemplifies Lotto's masterful technique, capturing delicate details and a vivid sense of personality. Now housed in the National Gallery, London, it was acquired in 1927. The artwork’s refined execution highlights the renaissance focus on humanism and individual expression, making it a significant piece in Italian art history.
