Pierre Lombart, a talented French artist from the 17th century, left behind an impressive body of work that showcased his skill and versatility. One of his notable creations is the portrait of the Marquis du Mesnilgarnier, painted with exquisite detail and capturing the essence of nobility. Lombart's talent extended beyond portraiture, as seen in his depiction of "The Sack of Troy-Pyrrhus Killing Priam. " This dramatic scene showcases Lombart's ability to bring historical events to life through art. In addition to these historical pieces, Lombart also illustrated scenes from Virgil's epic poem, "Aeneid, " which further demonstrates his range as an artist. His illustrations beautifully complemented Francis Cleyn's German artwork for this literary masterpiece. Lombart was not limited to painting alone; he also excelled in engraving. An example is his equestrian portrait of Oliver Cromwell based on Sir Anthony van Dyck's original portrait of King Charles I. Interestingly, after Cromwell's death and the restoration of monarchy in England, Lombart modified the engraving by replacing Cromwell with Louis XIV but later changed it back due to market demand. Another remarkable mezzotint created by Lombart is Felix Vialar 1680 Mezzotint Sheet. The intricate details and shading techniques used in this piece showcase Lombart's mastery over this medium. Throughout his career, Pierre Lombart proved himself as a versatile artist capable of capturing both historical events and individual personalities with great finesse. His contributions continue to be admired centuries later for their artistic brilliance and attention to detail.
