LOTTO, Lorenzo (b. ca. 1480, Venezia, d. 1556, Loreto) Vestiture of St Bridget 1524 Fresco Oratorio Suardi, Trescore The frescoes in the Oratorio Suardi were commissioned by the Counts Battista, Orsolina and Paolina Suardi. On the left wall the stories of St Barbara, on the right wall the stories of St Bridget, while on the entrance wall the stories of St Catherine of Alexandria and St Magdalene are depicted. The figures of the saiants mark one of the high points of Lotto's career. The meanings and possible interpretations are extremely complicated and also include references to the Protestant Reformation and alchemy. However, the two longer walls are dedicated to the narration of the legends relating to the two saints. While the stories of St Bridget interrupted by the door and windows, the complex account of the martyrdom of St Barbara is continuous, with the important points being underlined by the presence of architecture. --- Keywords: -------------- Author: LOTTO, Lorenzo Title: Vestiture of St Bridget Time-line: 1501-1550 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious
