Biography
Biography
Lombard was born in Liège, where in 1532 he became court painter and architect. A few paintings and many drawings have been preserved. In 1537, he was sent to Rome by Érard de La Marck, prince-bishop of Liège, to buy works of art, and he discovered the wonders of the Italian Renaissance. On his return he brought not only works of art, but also the new ideas concerning art and the position of the artist, to Liège. His pupils were Frans Floris, Hendrick Goltzius, Willem Key, Dominicus Lampsonius, Jean Ramey, and Lambert Zutman. Dominicus Lampsonius wrote a biography of Lombard, The Life of Lambert Lombard.
