Brother Gregorio Belo of Vicenza
Lorenzo Lotto
1547
Portrait of Brother Gregorio Belo of Vicenza is a 1547 oil-on-canvas painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Lorenzo Lotto, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It is inscribed bottom right "F. Gregorr belo de Vicentia / eremite in Hieronimi Ordinis beati / fratri Petris de Pisis Anno / etatis eius LV, M.D.XLVII". Its subject was a Hieronymite monk and so the image's iconography draws on that of the penitent St Jerome.
