May 14, 6:00 p.m. | Lorenzo Lotto, “Portrait of a Young Man” | DKOJo!

Discover “Portrait of a Young Man,” a painting considered one of the most melancholic in the entire Italian Renaissance. Its creator, Lorenzo Lotto, never achieved the same fame as Leonardo or Titian. Yet Lotto’s extraordinary style, which foreshadowed Mannerism, continues to captivate audiences to this day.

Join us for the next meeting in the DKJo! series to experience the atmosphere of the Venetian Renaissance. The discussion, traditionally led by Łukasz Wudarski, is open to anyone fascinated by art. Let’s decipher together the dense symbolism of the work (from the hidden lizard, through the abandoned lute, to the model’s melancholic gaze).

Let’s also consider how the painter builds emotional tension in this composition and what techniques he employs to create the painting’s unique mood and convey its emotions.

As always, we invite you to join the discussion, share your own interpretations, and express your personal response to this exceptionally intimate work.
