Japanese: ファン･ヘームスケルク（英語表記）Maerten van Heemskerck

1498‐1574
Dutch painter. Born near Haarlem and died in the same city. He studied under the Romanist Van Scorel, and studied in Rome from 1532 to 1536, where he was strongly influenced by Michelangelo and classical ancient art. After returning home, his religious and mythological paintings are full of intense expressiveness, and show early Mannerist tendencies. He also played an important role as a sketch artist for religious and allegorical prints. [Tatsushi Takahashi]

1498‐1574
オランダの画家。ハールレム近郊に生まれ同市で没。ロマニストのファン･スコレルに師事し，みずからも1532‐36年ローマに留学してミケランジェロと古典古代芸術から強い感化を受けた。帰郷後の宗教画･神話画は激しい表現性に満ちており，初期マニエリスム的傾向がうかがえる。宗教的および寓意的版画の下絵作家としても重要な役割を果たした。【高橋達史】
