Abstract:
Two of Lorenzo Lotto’s paintings, "Christ Taking Leave of His Mother, with Elisabetta
Rota" (1521) and the "Portrait of Fra Gregorio Belo" (1547), are interpreted as theoretical
objects according to the definition of this concept by Hubert Damisch. The compositional
structure and iconography of these paintings illustrates independently the William J. Thomas
Mitchell’s theory. According to this theory, the visual medium and the verbal medium cannot
be separated, despite having clearly different characteristics. The method used here brings
together Iconology and Visual Semiotics. This allows us to recognize the nesting media theory
expressed in Lotto’s two paintings, beyond the specific historical subjects they represent.
