(1) Lambert Sustris
(b Amsterdam, c. 1510–15; d ?Venice, after 1560). He trained in Amsterdam and by the early to mid-1530s was in Rome; a graffito with his signature is in the Domus Aurea next to that of Maartin van Heemskerck, who was there in 1532–6. He was probably in Venice c. 1535, in the studio of Titian. His characteristic thin, dry handling can be seen in the landscape of Titian’s Presentation of the Virgin (1534–8; Venice, Accad.). There is a similar landscape in the Rest on the Flight into Egypt (Munich, Alte Pin.) now attributed to Sustris. His presence in Titian’s workshop in this period is supported by his Venus (Amsterdam, Rijksmus.), a copy of Titian’s Venus of Urbino (Florence, Uffizi), which left Venice in 1538.
