Cornelius Cort
Cornelius Cort is an artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Dutch printmaker Cornelius Cort carved dramatic religious scenes in the mid-1500s. His prints bring crowded martyrdoms and tombs to stark life, using sharp lines to highlight struggle and stillness. Look at the way light cuts across Martyrdom of St. Lawrence or how shadows pool around the Tomb of Lorenzo De’ Medici in his engravings. Tap Transfiguration to see how he packs theological weight into a single sheet of paper.
