Dutch Northern Renaissance Painter, 1498-1574
Dutch painter, draughtsman and print designer. He was among the second generation of Netherlandish artists to travel to Italy, where he was profoundly affected by the work of contemporary artists in Rome and by the examples of Classical sculpture to be seen in the city (see ROMANISM). On his return to the north, van Heemskerck had a long and successful career. His extensive oeuvre (over 100 paintings) comprises large altarpieces, portraits and smaller works (with both religious and mythological subjects). He also produced a vast number of drawings for prints. He helped spread the influence of Michelangelo and Giulio Romano in the northern Netherlands, through his strong, monumental style, with much emphasis on anatomical detail. He was thus an important figure in the dissemination of late Mannerism in northern Europe Related Paintings of Maerten van heemskerck :. | The Erythraean Sibyl. | Art collections national the Haarlemer patrician Pieter Jan Foppeszoon with its family | Self-Portrait of the Painter with the Colosseum in the Background | Triumph of Bacchus | Portrait of Pieter Bicker Gerritsz. | Related Artists: Johann Wilhelm Preyer painted A Still Life with Peaches and Grapes on a Marble Ledge in 1803-1889 Raffaele Giannetti Italian Academic Painter, 1832-1916 Circle of Denis van Alsloot Daniel or Denis van Alsloot (Dutch: Denijs van Alsloot) (c.1570-c.1626) was a Flemish Baroque painter.
