The Recanati Polyptych is a painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Lorenzo Lotto*, executed in 1506-1508 and housed in the Civic Museum of Villa Colloredo Mels, Recanati, Italy. The work is dated and signed Laurent[ius] Lotus MDVIII.
Lotto began to work on the piece in 1506 as a devotional for the church of San Domenico in Recanati. The work was seen and described complete and in situ by Giorgio Vasari* in his Vite, who said Lotto was still young and followed partly the manner of the Bellini*, partly that of Giorgione*.
