Maarten van Heemskerck, celebrated for his religious art and Wonders of the World prints, faced iconoclasm and neglect in successive generations, until a recent revival in interest.
The upcoming exhibition marks a significant re-evaluation of Van Heemskerck, featuring 130 works across three museums, dedicated to his contributions to Dutch art and identity.
Scholar Ilja M. Veldman's research has uncovered new identifications within Van Heemskerck's works, including a rediscovery of a portrait believed to be his first wife.
Haarlem's exhibition will focus on Heemskerck's early career and his formative years leading to his departure for Rome, signaling a crucial phase in his artistic development.
