'In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee' (I Kings 3:5). Biblical illustration after Maarten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), Dutch artist in Italy during the 1530s who produced many drawings for prints. He was the first Dutch artist to work with the printmaking industry in this way, leaving the execution of the prints to professional printmakers in order to increase his production. His admirers included Rembrandt, who had a collection of prints after Heemskerck which sometimes inspired his own work. Jewish interest.
