His next home was in the house of a goldsmith, Justus Cornelisz, on the edge of Haarlem.īefore setting off for Italy on a Grand Tour in 1532, Heemskerck painted a scene of St. His other works for Foppesz included two life size figures symbolising the Sun and the Moon on a bedstead, and a picture of Adam and Eve "rather smaller but (it is said) after living models". The artist painted him in a now famous family portrait, considered the first of its kind in a long line of Dutch family paintings. They knew each other because Foppesz owned land in Heemskerk. Heemskerck then went to lodge at the home of the wealthy curate of the Sint-Bavokerk, Pieter Jan Foppesz (whose name van Mander writes as Pieter Ian Fopsen). However, having contrived an argument with his father he left again, this time for Delft, where he studied under Jan Lucasz, before moving on to Haarlem, where he became a pupil of Jan van Scorel, learning to paint in his teacher's innovative Italian-influenced style. According to his biography by Karel van Mander, he began his artistic training with the painter Cornelius Willemsz in Haarlem, but was recalled to Heemskerk by his father to work on the family farm. He was the son of a farmer called Jacob Willemsz. Heemskerck was born in the village of Heemskerk, North Holland, halfway between Alkmaar and Haarlem. He produced many designs for engravers, and is especially known for his depictions of the Wonders of the World. He was a pupil of Jan van Scorel, and adopted his teacher's Italian-influenced style. Maerten van Heemskerck or Marten Jacobsz Heemskerk van Veen (1 June 1498 – 1 October 1574) was a Dutch portrait and religious painter, who spent most of his career in Haarlem.
