2011 Renaissance Web Episodes - Ron Radford AM on Lorenzo Lotto
Here, the Director of the National Gallery of Australia, Ron Radford AM gives a wonderful explanation of why he sees the self portrait of Lorenzo Lotto as so important in the context of this collection from Bergamo. We take so much for granted, such as portraits viewed from straight on, but the Director of the Gallery explains that this would have been quite unusual at the time of painting.
