'''''Portrait of Brother Gregorio Belo of Vicenza''''' is a 1547 oil on canvas painting by [[Lorenzo Lotto]], now in the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] in New York. It is inscribed bottom right "F. Gregorr belo de Vicentia / eremite in Hieronimi Ordinis beati / fratri Petris de Pisis Anno / etatis eius LV, M.D.XLVII". Its subject was a [[Hieronymite]] monk and so the image's iconography draws on that of the penitent [[St Jerome]]<ref>Carlo Pirovano, Lotto, Electa, Milano 2002. ISBN 88-435-7550-3</ref>.
It is recorded in Lotto's own commonplace book as commissioned on 9 December 1546 by its subject and completed in October 1547. [[Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg]] acquired it in Venice in 1738 for 26 [[sequin (coin)|zecchini]] as a work by [[Paolo Veronese]] and it remained in his family until being sold to its present owner in 1965. It was only correctly attributed to Lotto in a post-1924 catalogue of the Schulenburg family collections<ref>https://ift.tt/2PexiZW>.
