My blog piece about the painting Portrait of a Young Man in his Study explores:

• Details as personae in the Young Man in his Study painting.
• Lorenzo Lotto's secretive, telling lizard.
• This Young Man's dating profile.

Portrait of a Young Man in his Study tips a hat to complicated gentlemen. A sense of story pervades this masterpiece. But Lorenzo Lotto lays out only the raw materials for us. We must construct the narrative ourselves. That's the most powerful part of this piece. The painter gives us a confluence of detail. So, viewers drown in bits of information about this gentleman. He's a hunter, intellectual, musician, and most of all – mysterious.
