Sull’opera
Lorenzo Lotto made this swiftly executed sketch preparatory to a painted double portrait, which is now in St Petersburg. He squared the composition for transfer to the canvas. Such working drawings were seldom preserved. This is regrettable, because it is precisely the clothing and attributes chosen by the patrons at this early stage that reveal how they wished to be immortalized.

Nella vita di Lorenzo Lotto
Tutta la vita1521–1523
Completes five more altarpieces
After the Martinengo Altarpiece Lotto decorated the churches of San Bernardino and Sant'Alessandro in Colonna with frescoes and distemper paintings, and in 1521–1523 he completed five more altarpieces, among them the altarpiece for the church of Santo Spirito in Bergamo (1521).
1523
A trip to the Marche for commissions
On a brief stay in the Marche Lotto obtained several commissions for altarpieces, which he later painted in Venice.
1525
Back in Venice, and a quarrel with Fra Damiano
In Venice Lotto first lodged at the Dominican monastery of Santi Giovanni e Paolo but was forced to leave after a few months following a conflict with the intarsia artist Fra Damiano da Bergamo; to cope with his commissions he set up a workshop. Other accounts extend his Bergamo period to 1526.
