Closeup of the Renaissance artist Between 1532 and 1536/37, the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck traveled to Rome. Most of the drawings created there were made by van Heemskerck in a sketchbook that he filled with motifs as he wandered through the city, and whose original binding has been lost. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, researchers at the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett have now largely reconstructed the original sequence of the book’s pages. This forms the basis of the present facsimile. In his fascinating studies, van Heemskerck captured the ancient sculptures, ruins, and Roman cityscapes. His sketches display a refined eye for composition and perspective as well as an extraordinary sensibility of drawing. In the sketchbook, the artist developed a space for individual experimentation, as well as a valuable trove of motifs from which he would draw throughout his life.

His remarkable drawings lead us in masterly pictures on a journey through time through 16th-century Rome.He was everywhere, from the Colosseum to the Forum Romanum to the Piazza del Campidoglio. Maarten van Heemskerck was one of the first artists from north of the Alps to embark on a trip to Rome purely for the sake of art. His sketches show his admiration for the buildings and artworks of Antiquity, as well as for the contemporary art of Raphael and Michelangelo. This magnificent volume invites the reader to discover Van Heemskerck’s drawing technique, Roman topography and the social network of the 16th century as well as the fascinating story of the restoration of his Roman sketchbook.
