High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Lotto carpet is a hand knotted carpet having a pattern that waupright|s primarily produced during the 16th and 17th centuries along the Aegean coast of Anatolia, Turkey, but also copied in various parts of Europe. It is characterized by a lacy arabesque, usually in yellow on a red ground, often with blue details. The name, "Lotto carpet", refers to the inclusion of carpets with this pattern in paintings by the 16th century Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto, though they in fact appear in many earlier Oriental carpets in Renaissance painting. Lotto carpets used to be known as Small-pattern Holbein Type II by Western scholars, but Holbein never painted one, unlike Lorenzo Lotto who did so several times, though he was not the first artist to show them. Lotto is also documented as owning a large carpet, though its pattern is unknown.
