Artist: Lorenzo Lotto - Title: Christ Carrying the Cross - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 20 inches x 18 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Lorenzo Lotto (c. 1480 - 1556/57) was an Italian painter, draughtsman and illustrator, traditionally placed in the Venetian school, though much of his career was spent in other north Italian cities. He painted mainly altarpieces, religious subjects and portraits. He was active during the High Renaissance and the first half of the Mannerist period, but his work maintained a generally similar High Renaissance style throughout his career, although his nervous and eccentric posings and distortions represented a transitional stage to the Florentine and Roman Mannerists.
