Reclining Venus, c 1540-1560

attributed to Lambert Sustris, c 1515 - after 1568

Oil on canvas

Born in Amsterdam, Sustris spent most of his career in Italy. He was a close
associate of the leading painter, Titian. In this work, Sustris used as a
model one of Titian's most celebrated paintings - the so-called Venus of Urbino -
but he gave his figure an elegant, more mannered pose. Rijksmuseum
