No Portrait Available
Lombard sculpture refers to works from Lombardy in northern Italy, a region with a rich artistic tradition stretching from the early medieval period through the Renaissance. Lombardy's position as a crossroads between Italian, Germanic, and French artistic traditions gave its sculpture a distinctive character. Milan, the region's capital, was a major center for both stone carving and metalwork.
Lombard sculptors contributed to major building projects including Milan Cathedral and the Certosa di Pavia, producing carved facades, capitals, and devotional figures. Our collection includes 4 Lombard works at the Art Institute of Chicago.
