The last traces of the Vivarini influence are to be seen in the earlier works
of Lorenzo Lotto(1480-1556), who was a pupil of Alvise,
though his pictures after 1508, when he had left Venice, Treviso and Reccanti,cheap oil paintings, where he had been employed, show the effect of his changed surroundings. To this
date is assigned the Portrait of a Young Man, at Hampton Court. At Rome
in 1509 he was painting with Raphael in the Vatican, and in his next dated work,
the Entombment, at Jesi, the echoes of Raphael's Disputation and the
School of Athens are clear. The DresdenMadonna and Child with S.
John was probably painted at Bergamo in 1518, and the Madonna and
Saints, lately bequeathed to the National Gallery, is dated 1521. art oil paintings for sale
At Madrid is a picture by him of A Bride and Bridegroom dated 1523, to
which year probably belongs the Family Group in the National Gallery.
These are early instances of the comparatively rare inclusion of more than a
single figure in a pure portrait. In our example the father and mother and two
children are composed into a delightful picture, in which for once we may see
the actual people of the time in something like their natural surroundings,
instead of being posed, however effectively, to assist in the representation of
some historic or legendary scene. art oil paintings online
In 1527 Lotto was back again in Venice, and was probably influenced by Palma
Vecchio when he painted the superb portrait of the sculptorOdoni,
which is at Hampton Court. A little later the influence of Titian is more
visible. Two other portraits are in our National Gallery, those of the
Protonotary Juliano and of Agostino and Niccolo della Torre.
Bonifazio di Pitati (1487-1553), sometimes called
Bonifazio Veronese or Veneziano,buy oil paintings online, was born at Verona, but studied in Venice under
Palma Vecchio. The influence of his native city distinguishes his work in some
degree from the pure Venetian, as it did that of the more famous Paolo in later
years; but the atmosphere created by Giorgione was so strong as to cause
Bonifazio's masterpiece (if we except the Dives and Lazarusat the Academy
in Venice) to be attributed until quite lately to Giorgione. It is thus
described by Kugler:—"A picture in the Brera in Milan,oil paintings wholesale, very deserving of notice,
is perhaps one of Giorgione's most beautiful works; it is historic in subject,
but romantic in conception. The subject is the finding of Moses; all the figures
are in the rich costume of Giorgione's time. In the centre the princess sits
under a tree, and looks with surprise at the child who is brought to her by a
servant. The seneschal of the princess, with knights and ladies, stand around.
On one side are seated two lovers on the grass, on the other side musicians and
singers,dafen oil painting village, pages with dogs, a dwarf with an ape, etc. It is a picture in which the
highest earthly splendour and enjoyment are brought together, and the incident
from Scripture only gives it a more pleasing interest. The costume, however
inappropriate to the story, disturbs the effect as little as in other Venetian
pictures of the same period, since it refers more to a poetic than to a mere
historic truth, and the period itself was rich in poetry; its costume too
assists the display of a romantic splendour. This picture,98 with all its glow of colour, is softer
than the earlier works of the master, and reminds us of Titian...." art oil paintings for sale
