Subject matter
Although Lombard began visual arts later in life, his fascination with detail and technique was evident from the beginning. This is one of Lombard's earlier works and focuses on buildings in the German city, Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Lombard works with multiple perspectives and levels to offer a dynamic compilation of Rothenburg's medieval fortifications.
