Among the works of Renaissance Lombard painting, look closely at the great altarpiece with the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.
Did you know that the great Leonardo influenced at least two generations of Lombard painters? You can see it in the Altarpiece of St. Rocco, Cesare da Sesto's last work, and in the works of Bernardino Luini. Don't miss the two beautiful paintings from the first half of the 1500s made by Correggio from Parma: the Madonna and Child and young St. John, as well as the portrait by Giulio Zandemaria depicting a gentleman ensconced in the green of a park.
The art gallery also holds some beautiful portraits of Venetian painters of the 1500s: the Young man with Gloves by Lorenzo Lotto, Monseigneur d'Aramont by Titian and the elderly aristocrat Jacopo Soranzo by Tintoretto.
