1468-1533 Holland/Northern Renaissance

 

Brief Biography-Cornelis Engebrechtsz, or Cornelius Enghelbrecht, the history painter and portraitist, was born in Leiden. His paintings were in oil or distemper, and he was said to have been influenced by the works of Jan van Eyck. Amongst his disciples were Lucas van Leyden and Aertgen van Leyden. His most well-known work was the Adoration of the Lamb for an altarpiece in the church of Saint Peter in Leiden. His father was a wood engraver, and his three sons, Pieter, Lucas, and Cornelis, were painters apprenticed by him. He spent most of his life in Leiden, where he died in 1533.
