The Strong Men series clearly reveals Heemskerck’s fascination with the very latest creations of his Italian colleagues. He must have frequently copied such contemporary examples. This is one of his few surviving drawings after such a work. He took the playful angels from a fresco in the Vatican made by Raphael’s most important pupil Giulio Romano in the 1520s.
