Altar of Recanati polyptych, the right wing: martyr St. Peter and St. Vitus 1508

This is a panel painting, part of a larger polyptych, by the Venetian Renaissance artist Lorenzo Lotto. It shows Saint Peter, depicted with a key, and Saint Vitus, who is holding a flag with the symbol of his martyrdom. The figures are set against a simple architectural background, with a hint of a landscape visible in the distance, typical of Lotto's style. The right wing panel, painted in 1508, is characteristic of Lotto's early work, demonstrating his ability to portray both realism and spiritual devotion.
