## Commentary

Maerten van Heemskerck stayed in Rome over three years between 1532 and 1536. He sketched everything from distant views of the Roman ruins and medieval monuments to details of objects and Renaissance compositions. These sketches are fortunately preserved in part in two copious sketchbooks in the print cabinet in Berlin.
