Maerten van Heemskerck or Marten Jacobsz Heemskerk van Veen (1 June 1498 – 1 October 1574) was a Dutch portrait and religious painter, who spent most of his career in Haarlem. He was a pupil of Jan van Scorel, and adopted his teacher's Italian-influenced style. He spent the years 1532–6 in Italy. He produced many designs for engravers, and is especially known for his depictions of the Wonders of the World.
According to his biography, he began his artistic training with the painter Cornelius Willemsz in Haarlem. He then left for Delft, where he studied under Jan Lucasz, before moving on to Haarlem, where he became a pupil of Jan van Scorel
Heemskerck then went to lodge at the home of the wealthy curate of the Sint-Bavokerk, Pieter Jan Foppesz. The artist painted him in a now famous family portrait.
Before setting off for Italy on a Grand Tour in 1532, Heemskerck painted a scene of St. Luke painting the Virgin for the altar of St. Luke in the Bavokerk.
He travelled around the whole of northern and central Italy, stopping at Rome, where he had letters of introduction from van Scorel to the influential Dutch cardinal[4] William of Enckenvoirt.
While in Rome where he made numerous drawings of classical sculpture and architecture. He was to use them as source material throughout the rest of his career.
On his return to the Netherlands in 1536, he settled back at Haarlem, where he became president of the Haarlem Guild of Saint Luke (in 1540),
The alteration in his style, brought about by his experience of Italy was not universally admired.
He painted large altarpieces. In 1553 he became curate of the Sint-Bavokerk, where he served for 22 years. More on Maarten van Heemskerck
She was born into the family of a noble Rome. Her father Philip Commodus (180-192) was appointed governor of Egypt and moved to Alexandria with his family. Eugenia studied philosophy, spoke in Latin and Greek. Noble youths wooed her, but she did not want to marry. After Eugenia read the Epistles of St. Paul, she believed in Christ, but, fearing the wrath of her parents, she hid her faith. Under the pretext of a walk, she ran away from home and disguised herself as a man. She came to the monastery together with her servants/eunuchs Prot and Iakinf. Helenus, bishop of Heliopolis was in this monastery. It was revealed to him in a dream that Eugenia was a girl. He baptized them and tonsured them as monks.
Eugenia led an ascetic lifestyle for several years and was honored with the gift of miracles. After the death of the hegumen, the brethren unanimously elected Eugenia to replace him.

Emperors Septimius Sever (193-211) and Antoninus Pius (138-161), in response to Philip's request, allowed Christians to build temples. Eugenia gathered the virgins around her, and together they served God, her mother Claudia built a hospitable home.
Upon learning that Philip converted to Christianity, the emperors appointed a new ruler in his place. Philip was elected bishop of Alexandria. Soon, by order of the new ruler, he was killed. Her mother Claudia moved with her children to Rome, her sons received high positions, and Eugenia continued to instruct the virgins in Christ.

Under the emperors Valerian (253-260) and Gallien (260-268) the persecution of Christians resumed. Vasilla, one of the virgins who believed in Christ and were baptized thanks to Eugenia, as well as Protus and Iacinthus were executed by order of Emp.

Eugenia was seized and taken to the temple of Artemis (Diana) to offer a sacrifice, but the temple collapsed even before she entered it. Then she was tied with a stone around her neck and thrown into the Tiber, but the stone fell into the water, and the maiden walked on the water as if on dry land.
