MARTIN VAN HEEMSKERCK MAARTEN VAN HEMSERCK (Heemskerk, 1498-Haarlem, 1574). "Vanitas". Oil on oak board. seamed.
Est: €16,000 - €18,000
MARTIN VAN HEEMSKERCK MAARTEN VAN HEMSERCK (Heemskerk, 1498-Haarlem, 1574). "Vanitas. Oil on oak panel. Engatillada. Size: 63 x 69 cm; 85 x 101 cm (frame). In a sober interior rests the figure of a small boy, who sleepily rests one of his hands on a skull, while with the other one he holds a poster on which it can be read "Nascendo Morimur". The image, which loses its innocence through the presence of death as an idea lurking over the child's innocence and innocence, takes place in an interior of great spatial amplitude. In this space, only the curtain stands out as an ornamental element, which, due to its colour and modelling, brings luminosity and volume to the work. On the right-hand side, the space is open to a distant landscape dominated by the cold colours of the vegetation, while the sky has been painted in a warmer ochre. In this vegetation, the figure of a second character can be seen, which is outlined in the composition. Returning to the words on the poster carried by the protagonist, Nascendo Morimur refers to a specific 16th-century artistic genre, which could be translated as "As we are born, so we die". This was a popular theme in Flanders and Germany during that period, and is strongly related to the more popular Vanitas still lifes. Within the genre of vanities, which was so important, depicting the transience of life was one of the themes that most preoccupied Baroque artists. Vanities denounce the relativity of knowledge and the vanity of the human race subject to the passage of time and death. Its title and conception are related to a passage from Ecclesiastes: "vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas" ("vanity of vanities, all is vanity"). Marten Jacobszoon Heemskerk van Veen was a Netherlandish painter of the so-called Antwerp school, known for his portraits, his religious works and his reconstructions of the Seven Wonders of the World, which were disseminated throughout Europe in prints. He learned with Jan van Scorel and was influenced by Italian Mannerism in his workshop, but his style changed radically when he was able to travel to Italy (with a long stop in Rome, where he seems to have collaborated with Antonio da Sangallo the Younger on the Porta di San Sebastiano) and see everything at first hand. Even after returning to his native country in 1536, he always maintained a highly ornamental aesthetic, which earned him a very comfortable position and a certain prestige. His work, which is not very abundant, is to be found in museums such as the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge (UK), the Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, the National Museum in Warsaw and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as well as in important private collections.

Est: €5,000 - €8,000
Maarten van Heemskerck (Heemskerk 1498 - Haarlem 1574) cerchia/seguace di Veduta del Colosseo Olio su tavola 43 x 58 cm Maarten van Heemskerck iniziò la sua formazione presso Jan van Scorel, ottenendo presto una ottima fama di ritrattista che scatenò l'invidia del maestro. Questo dissidio provocò la partenza verso l'Italia nel 1532, fatto che risultò determinante per la crescita artistica di Marten. Egli soggiornò a Roma quattro anni, dedicandosi soprattutto allo studio dell'antico mediante l'esercizio del disegno, lasciando preziose testimonianze dell'esistenza di alcuni resti oggi perduti e dello stato di altri monumenti in quel determinato periodo. I suoi disegni sono la cronaca figurata dei cantieri romani del XVI secolo negli anni successivi al Sacco di Roma. Ritornato in patria, continuò a dipingere le antiche rovine di Roma, come l'Autoritratto con il Colosseo sullo sfondo.

Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Bottega di Maarten van Heemskerck (Heemskerk 1498 - Haarlem 1574) Ritratto di magistrato Olio su tavola Alla base reca iscrizione: RATIO QUIQUE REDDENTA- ANNO D 1549- AETATIS SUA 52 54 x 38 cm L’opera trova conforto attributivo con la tavola di eguale soggetto, seppur con varianti nel vestiario, comparsa presso Christie's il 20 giugno 2007 a Parigi, presentato come opera della cerchia di Maarten van Heemskerck. Maarten van Heemskerck fu allievo di Jan van Scorel, con il quale apprese la tecnica del ritratto. Nel 1532 partì per l’Italia: qui soggiornò a Roma per quattro anni, dedicandosi al disegno dei ruderi e delle architetture classiche. Grazie alle sue prove grafiche, ad oggi siamo in grado di conoscere come furono i monumenti all’epoca, oppure siamo edotti dell’esistenza di altri oggi scomparsi. Ritornato in patria, continuò a esercitare la professione di ritrattista e a dipingere opere con le antiche rovine della Città Eterna.

Maarten van Heemskerck, The Holy Trinity
Est: €200,000 - €250,000
The present painting is an important discovery of a composition by the master known from an engraving made by Haarlem engraver Jacob Matham in 1602 (London, The British Museum, inv. 1856-0209.289) which mentions “M. Heemskerck pinxit” (fig. 1). Thanks to Dr. Ilja Veldman, specialized in Van Heemskerck’s œuvre, the panel can be recognized today as the true model for Matham’s engraving. The composition must have been much appreciated as another version of lesser quality exists in the Grzimek collection in Friedrichshafen. The Holy Trinity constituted a major dogma of the Christian Faith in the medieval society. As such it has been depicted many times by some of the greatest masters north of the Alps in the 15th and 16th centuries, like the Master of Flémalle and Colin de Coter in Flanders, Albrecht Dürer in Southern Germany or Maarten van Heemskerck in the Northern Netherlands. At first sight only God the Father holding his dead Son on his lap is represented against the golden-brown background. But close examination with infrared light (fig. 2) shows the head and the wing of the Holy Spirit hovering in the upper left space between both figures, a detail which has been overpainted over the time. Stylistically it allows good comparison with doves in other paintings of Van Heemskerck as his “Venus and Cupid” (Cologne, Wallraf-Richartz Museum, inv. no. 875) or “The Triumphant Christ” (Copenhagen, Statens Museum for Kunst). Dr. Ilia Veldman emphasizes the high quality of the present work. Stylistically, The Holy Trinity corresponds to the working method of the artist in the years 1545-1548 (written communications of 4 August 2019 and 18 February 2022). The 1540s were a particularly fruitful creative period for Heemskerck and his workshop. During this time he created a number of depictions of Christ as the “Man of Sorrows” and the “Lamentation of Christ”. Common to all works is the central figure of the seated Christ in half length, which Heemskerck formulated for the first time in 1532 in the „Man of Sorrows" in the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent (inv. no. S-53). The muscular body of Christ is also the defining element in the Trinity. The slightly rotated position of the lifeless Son due to a raised shoulder gives His limp body great tension and presence. Heemskerck's interest in mannerist poses and pronounced muscles, which he got to know while studying in Italy is clearly evident. A Lamentation from around 1545 in the Pinacoteca dell'Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti in Turin is stylistically closely comparable, showing a very similar structure of the body, as does the “Ecce Homo” in Warsaw (Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie) from 1544. The Man of Sorrows has the same facial type with almost closed eyes, a narrow fleshy mouth, a classically clipped nose and a parted beard. Similar to Van Heemskerck's Warsaw and Ghent paintings mentioned above, no preparatory underdrawing was found in the present painting. Indeed for the underdrawing Van Heemskerck sometimes used materials that cannot be shown by infrared reflectography (fig. 3).
