Inventor Marten van Heemskerck (Heemskerk 1498-1574 Haarlem) - Dutch School Pupil of Jan van Scorel. Went to Rome in 1532 and stayed there until 1537. He was very appreciated there and made many drawings of Rome and it's buildings. He visited the caves of the "Domus Aurea" of Nero and left his names carved in the sealing. The designs of Marten Van Heemskerck are recognizable by the typical muscular of his figures and the antique architectural setting of his scenes. |
