Conservation of Lorenzo Luzzo's altarpiece "Assumption of Mary"
Assumption of Mary was painted by Lorenzo Luzzo (Zadar or Feltre, 1484/1485 - Venice or Zadar, 1526/1527), called Zarot(t)(o) (from Zadar) and Morto da Feltre. His art was influenced by other artists such as Titian, Raphael, Sebastian del Piombo and Giorgione. The composition and figural representation on the Assumption of Mary altarpiece from Zadar (first quarter of the 16th century) have obvious similarities with the eponymous altarpiece of the Venetian painter Palma the Elder.
