POELENBURG (Poelenborch), CORNELIS
VAN, born at
Utrecht in 1586,
died there, Aug. 12,
1667. Dutch school;
history and landscape
painter, pupil
of Abraham Bloemaert;
went early to
Rome, where he took
Elsheimer for his
model, and studied Raphael. His small landscapes,
enlivened with nymphs or figures
taken from sacred history, are tender in
colour, but fail in composition and drawing.
He was invited by the Grand Duke to
remain at Florence, but preferred to return
home, where he was treated with much distinction.
Rubens visited him, and Charles
I. invited him to England. Free of the
guild at Utrecht, 1649; master in 1664.
