More information

'Lotto' carpets derive their name from the Renaissance painter Lorenzo Lotto, (c. 1480 – 1556). Lotto depicted an example in ‘The Alms of St. Anthony’, 1542, Venice, although they also appear in other and earlier works such as Sebastiano del Piombo's ‘Cardinal Bandinello Sauli’, of 1516. This indicates that the earliest examples are at least from the very early 16th century. The pattern continued to be popular until the late 18th century.
