Lorenzo Lotto's Portrait of Andrea Odoni is one of the most famous
paintings of the Italian Renaissance. Son of an immigrant and a
member of the non-noble citizen class, Odoni understood how the
power of art could make a name for himself and his family in his
adopted homeland. Far from emulating Venetian patricians, however,
he set himself apart through the works he collected and the way he
displayed them. In this book, Monika Schmitter imaginatively
reconstructs Odoni's house - essentially a 'portrait' of Odoni
through his surroundings and possessions. Schmitter's detailed
analysis of Odoni's life and portrait reveals how sixteenth-century
individuals drew on contemporary ideas about spirituality, history,
and science to forge their own theories about the power of things
and the agency of object. She shows how Lotto's painting served as
a meta-commentary on the practice of collecting and on the ability
of material things to transform the self.
