''Transfiguration'' is a signed oil-on-panel painting of the Gospel episode the
Transfiguration of Jesus by
Lorenzo Lotto, produced in 1510–1512 for the church of Santa Maria di Castelnuovo and now in the Museo civico Villa Colloredo Mels in
Recanati. It may originally have had a
predella, part of which is ''Christ Leading the Apostles to Mount Tabor'' (Hermitage Museum).

Lotto almost certainly stopped at
Perugia en route between Rome and the Marche. There he would have seen
Perugino's frescoes for the audience chambers of the Collegio del Cambio. Whilst there Lotto also painted a ''Deposition''; both that and ''Transfiguration'' show signs of an experimental style he abandoned after his 1513 move to Bergamo.
