266. THE DEPOSITION FROM THE CROSS.

_Lambert Lombard_ (Flemish: 1505-1566).

Lambert Lombard of Liège was, says Vasari, "a distinguished

man of letters, a most judicious painter, and an admirable

architect." His pictures, which are scarce, are generally

remarkable for correctness of drawing, but his colouring was

thin and cold. Lombard, who was a pupil of Mabuse (see 656),

travelled as a young man in Germany and France, and visited

Italy in the suite of Cardinal Pole, when he became acquainted

with Vasari. On his return he opened a school at Liège.
