LOMAZZO, GIOVANNI PAOLO, born in Milan in 1538, died there in 1600. Lombard school; pupil of Gio. Battista della Cerva. Lanzi mentions several pictures by him. His portrait, by himself, is in the Brera, and there are frescos by him in S. Marco. Painted but little, as he became blind about 1571; best known by his "Trattato della Pittura, Scoltura et Architettura" (Milan, 1584), and "Idea del Tempio della Pittura" (Milan, 1590).—Lanzi, ii. 500; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., xi. 275; Ch. Blanc, École milanaise; Burckhardt, 628, 709.


LOMBARD (Lombardus), LAMBERT, born at Liége in 1505, died there, August, 1566. Flemish school; erroneously called Lambert Suavius or Sustermann; painter, archæologist, and poet; pupil of Arnold de Beer and of Mabuse, and afterwards in Italy, where he accompanied Cardinal Pole (1538), of Andrea del Sarto. On his return to Liége he opened a school which was numerously attended. Vasari calls him a judicious painter and excellent architect. Colour, chiaroscuro, and drawing good, but his pictures are never quite free from Flemish stiffness. Among his works, now very rare, are: Deposition from Cross, National Gallery, London; Martyrdom of St. Barbara, St. Bartholomew's, Liége; Vision, Collection of King of Holland, Hague; Last Supper (1531), Scourges of the Almighty, Brussels Museum; Madonna, Berlin Museum; Death of Lucretia, Germanic Museum, Nuremberg; Adoration of the Magi, Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Adoration of Shepherds, Vienna Museum; Portrait, Antwerp Museum.—Allgem. d.
