LOMBARD

Volume 10 · 157 words · 1797 Edition

(Lambert), an eminent painter, born at Liege in 1500; who, after a diligent study of the antique at Rome, introduced that style of painting among his countrymen instead of the Gothic. He painted history, architecture, and perspective; and though he could never altogether free himself from his national grout, he is ranked among the best painters of his time. He died in 1560.

Lombard (Peter), well known by the title of Master of the Sentences, was born at Novara in Lombardy; but being bred at Paris, he distinguished himself so much at that university, that he first had the canonry of Chartres conferred on him, was sometime tutor to Philip son of Louis le Gros, and lastly obtained the see of Paris. He died in 1064. His work of the Sentences is looked on as the source of the scholastic theology of the Latin church. He wrote also Commentaries on the Psalms, and on St Paul's Epistles.
