Lombard Art

Lombard art refers to the visual and decorative work produced in the Lombardy region of northern Italy during the Middle Ages, roughly from the 12th to 15th centuries. It includes illuminated manuscripts, religious icons, and intricate wood and metalwork, characterized by detailed craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and often a blend of Christian symbolism with local artistic traditions. Lombard art reflects a transition from Romanesque to Gothic styles and is known for its expressive detail and high-quality craftsmanship, playing a significant role in the development of Italian medieval art and providing insight into the region’s cultural and religious life.
