This neo-Latin account of the life of the painter, architect, and draftsman Lambert Lombard of Li鑒e offers a theoretical exposition on the nature and ideal practice of Netherlandish art, emphasizing Lombard's intellectual curiosity, interest in antiquity, attentive study of the human body, and exemplary generosity as a teacher. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume offers the first English edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Lambert Lombard\u003c\/i\u003e, complemented by a new translation of the inscriptions Lampsonius composed to accompany the \u003ci\u003eEffigies of Several Famous Painters from the Low Countries \u003c\/i\u003e(1572), a cycle of twenty-three engraved portraits of Netherlandish artists developed in collaboration with the print publisher Hieronymus Cock. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Together, \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Lambert Lombard \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eEffigies \u003c\/i\u003eestablished frameworks for a distinctly Netherlandish history of art.
