The paintings above were created in the Netherlands by young Maarten van Heemskerck before his momentous study-period in Rome during the middle 1530s. Those below were made in the longer period after his return. Recent Italian influence obviously predominates in the Bacchanal immediately below, executed before the decade was over. Yet the bread and butter of Heemskerck's career back at home in the north remained the traditional, formal, religious tableau. He dutifully produced these, but inflected them with his new, more ambitious, Roman-style nudes.
