Life

Sustris Lambert was born in Amsterdam. He was probably trained in Haarlem or Utrecht, within Maarten van Heemskerck or by Jan van Scorel. Nevertheless, he spent most of his life in Italy, where he moved to very early. First, he went to Rome in the early 1530s. There, he held the same time as Heemskerck on before he moved to Venice in 1535. Presumably he played there 1542-1544 as a member of the workshop of Titian his livelihood. There, he specialized in landscape painting. It was and it is claimed that he had worked on the landscape of a painting of Mary in the Temple by Titian.
