  • Genre: Documentary
  • Run time: 53 min

Rome, the "Eternal City", has captivated people for centuries. In 1532, Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck visited the city to sketch ancient ruins and sculptures. Nearly 500 years later, the Urban Sketchers, a global movement of illustrators, are drawn to his work. The film explores Heemskerck's journey, the sketchers following in his footsteps, and the "Fascination Rome" exhibition at Berlin's Kulturforum (April 28 - August 4, 2024).
