Accompanying the exhibition The Allure of Rome. Maarten van Heemskerck Draws the City, a series of lectures will take place once a month on Tuesdays, in which individual aspects of Van Heemskerck’s work will be addressed and explained. The speakers will present his few paintings created in Rome as well as the influence of the admired works of Michelangelo, Van Heemskerck’s drawing materials and their analysis as well as his approach to ruins in comparison with contemporary depictions by other artists.
