CORT, Hexdrik de. See De Cort.
CORTBEMDE, Balthasar van', the son of a picture-dealer, was a painter of Antwerp, who was born in 1612, married Ursula, a sister of Jan van den Hoecke, the painter, and died between 1663 and 1670. He studied under Jan Blanckaert, and was considered among the better class of the masters of his century. A ' Good Samaritan ' in a land- scape by him (1647) is in the Antwerp Museum.
CORTE, Cesare, the son of Valerio Corte, was bom at Genoa in 1550, and studied under Luca Cambiaso. According to Baldinucci, he was one of the most noted portrait painters of his time : he also painted historical subjects with considerable success. He visited France, where he was much employed, and is said by Baldinucci to have been in England in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, al- though he is not mentioned in Lord Orford's ' Anec- dotes ' ; he, however, painted that queen, and several of her court. His best historical works are at Genoa. For the church of San Pietro he painted the titular Saint at the feet of the Virgin, coloured with great chasteness and delicacy; for San Francesco, the altar-piece of the chapel of Prince Massa, representing Mary Magdalene ; and for the church of Santa Maria del Carmine two pictures of St. Simeon and St. Francis. He died in 1613. His son Uavide, who died in 1657, was a celebrated imitator of the old masters.
CORTE, Gabriel and Jcan de la. See De la Corte.
CORTE, Valeric, was bom at Pavia in 1530. He went to Venice, and under the guidance of Titian became an eminent painter of portraits. He after- wards settled at Genoa, where he met with great encouragement, but ruined himself by the folly of alchemy. He died at Genoa in 1580.
CORTELLINI, JIichele, who painted from about 1502 to 1542, was a follower of Francia. A ' Madonna enthroned, with four Saints,' by him, formerly in Sant' Andrea, is now in the gallery at Ferrara.

CORVI, DoMENico, an Italian painter, was bom at Viterbo in 1721. He was instructed by Mancini, and showed his great talent in his chief work, 'The Family of Priam with the dead body of Hector.' He was for some time Director of the Roman School and the instructor of Cades and Camucciui. He died in 1803.
CORVINUS, JoHANX August, a German en- graver, was bom in 1682. He worked chiefly for the booksellers, and principally engraved views and buildings, in a neat but stiff style. By him there is a set of ornaments for ceilings, after designs by Carlo Maria Pozzi ; most of the plates for a work entitled ' Representatio Belli ob Successionem in Regno Hispanico,' published at Augsburg, are by this artist ; and several for a book by Pfeffel on the churches and monasteries of Vienna, published at Augsburg, in 1724-25. He died in 1738.
