Tullio Lombardo
Tullio Lombardo (* 1455 in Venice, † November 17, 1532 ) was an Italian sculptor and architect of the Early Renaissance.
Tullio was a son of since 1460 based in Venice Pietro Lombardo, the founder of a Venetian dynasty of sculptors and architects who have the Venetian art of the late 15th and the early 16th century marked critical.
Tullio was trained in the workshop of his father, which he continued even after his death, together with his brother Antonio. From 1499 he ran the workshop independently, as Pietro was busy with the work on the Doge's Palace.
The attribution of sculptures and reliefs on the individual members of the family is always difficult, especially as the works usually are not dated and signed, and often several family members were employed at a works contract.
Remarkable for Tullio Lombardo is his involvement with the formal language of antiquity. His tomb of the Doge Andrea Vendramin is under construction his exact knowledge of ancient architecture, and sculptures and reliefs, a thorough knowledge of human anatomy and familiarity with details of ancient culture. For example, wearing figures on Vendramin tomb for the first time in the sculpture of the Renaissance in every detail correct antique armor.
