SUSTRIS, Lambert
(b. ca. 1515, Amsterdam, d. after 1560, Venezia)

Nude Sleeping in a Landscape

1542-45
Fresco
Villa dei Vescovi, Luvigliano di Torreglia

This picture shows one of the landscapes with mythological figures in the upper register of the walls (above the seated figures) in the so-called Hall of the all'antica figures in the Villa dei Vescovi. This scene presages later works by Sustris, such as Venus and Cupid in the Louvre.
