Abstract

This article explores the formation and affirmation of the myth of the «Lombard style» examining two centuries of literary production in Great Britain and in the United States. It aims to excavate how the concept of Lombard art was shaped and transformed across time, and the historical, cultural, or artistic motivations that led scholars to regard it as an exceptional style.
