Summary
The study of Odoni’s collection in the previous chapters informs a detailed analysis of the famous portrait by Lotto, showing how patron and artist together concocted an imaginary collection. The painting argues that the contemplation of material things can connect the viewer to the divine and thereby transmute the self.
