LOMBARDO

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 932 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOMBARDO , the name of a family of Venetian sculptors and architects; their surname was apparently Solaro, and the name of Lombardo was given to the earliest known, Martino, who emigrated from Lombardy to Venice in the middle of the 15th
century
  and became celebrated as an architect. He had two sons, Moro and Pietro, of whom the latter (c. 1435-1515) was one of the greatest sculptors and architects of his time, while his sons Antonio (d. 1516) and Tullio (d. 1559) were hardly less celebrated. Pietro's
work
  as an architect is seen in numerous churches, the Vendramini-Calargi palace (1481), the doge's palace (1498), the facade (x485) of the scuola of St Mark and the
cathedral
  of Cividale del Friuli (1502); but he is now more famous as a sculptor, often in collaboration with his sons; he executed the tomb of the doge
Mocenigo
  (1478) in the
church
  of San Giovanni e
Paolo
  at Venice, and a bas-relief for the tomb of Dante at Ravenna, and in 1483 began the beautiful decorations in the
church
  of Sta Maria de' Miracoli at Venice, which is associated with his workshop (see also VENICE for numerous references to the
work
  of the Lombardi). Antonio's master-piece is the
marble
  relief of St Anthony making a new-born child speak in defence of its
mother
 's honour, in the Santo at Padua (1505). Tullio's best-known works are the four kneeling angels (1484) in the church of San Martino, Venice, a
coronation
  of the Virgin in San Giovanni Crisostomo and two bas-reliefs in the Santo, Padua, besides two others formerly in the Spitzer collec-tion, representing
Vulcan
 's Forge and Minerva disputing with Neptune.
