CORNELIS VAN Poelenburg. Dutch School, 1586—1667. Landscape painter; born at Utrecht in 1586, was a pupil of A. Bloemaert and afterwards travelled to Italy. He stayed some time at Rome, where he was influenced by Elsheimer. His pictures soon became popular and he received many commissions in Italy, but by 1627 he was again in Utrecht, where he became Dean of the Painters' Guild in 1664 and died on Aug. 12, 1667. He was for some time in England in 1650. He painted landscapes, usually Italian in ...character, and full of figures in gay costumes. These often present some scriptural or mythological story, but are subordinate in interest to the landscape, and serve only to introduce variety of colour. His earlier pictures shew a somewhat unsuccessful imitation of Elsheimer, but the later are independent, they are bright and pretty in colouring, and much softer than the earlier. His style found many imitators. I. 388. Landscape, with Abraham and Isaac. In foreground r. Abraham with head and feet bare, with a staff and a dagger at his waist, walks to 1., followed by Isaac in white and brown, with bare arms, carrying a faggot on his shoulders.
