  • Biography

    Cornelis van Poelenburch was a Dutch painter.

    He initially trained with Abraham Bloemaert (1566-1651). He then travelled to Rome where he was influenced by Adam Elsheimer (1578-1610) and became a member of the Bentvueghels. Invited to London by Charles I of England (1600-1649), he soon returned to his native Holland.

    Van Poelenburch mostly painted small landscapes with mythical or religious figures or passages, in a style that would later be evident in some of the works of Claude Lorrain (1600-1682).

    Amongst his pupils were Dirck van der Lisse (1607-1669), François Verwilt (c.1623-1691) and Jan van Haensbergen (1642-1705).
