Abstract: Catanese and Tonoli showed that the maximal cardinality for an even set of nodes on a sextic surface is 56 and they constructed such nodal surfaces. In this paper we give an alternative, rather simple, construction for these surfaces starting from a non-hyperelliptic genus three curve. We illustrate our method by giving explicitly the equation of such a sextic surface starting from the Klein curve.
