life and work
Cornelis van Poelenburgh was a student of Abraham Bloemaert , traveled to Italy and from 1617 stayed in Rome, where he continued his education under the influence of Elsheimer . Later, in Florence , he also met Jacques Callot . From 1627 the artist is proven again in Utrecht. In 1637 he was called to London by King Charles I , but soon returned to his hometown, where he died on August 12, 1667.
For Cornelis van Poelenburgh, Italianizing landscapes with a mythological character or bucolic decor are characteristic. He painted several smaller landscapes from the area of Rome with naked figures from ancient mythology ( satyrs , nymphs , etc.), with biblical scenes and with accessories based on Italian poets. His works are characterized by a smooth, neat treatment, which were in great demand in the 18th century because of this advantage and are therefore numerous in many galleries. Occasionally he worked with Jan Both , for example on the painting The Judgment of Paris , where Poelenburg inserted the figures into a landscape painted by Both, but also with Alexander Keirincx .
Jan Gerritsz van Bronckhorst is one of his students .
