Cornelis Massijs
Flemish, 1508–1580
Cornelis Massijs was a Flemish Northern Renaissance artist. 8 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art. Cornelis Massijs was born in Antwerp.
Cornelis Massijs (1508, Antwerp – c. 1556, unknown), was a Flemish Renaissance painter, draughtsman and engraver, mainly known for his landscapes and, to a lesser extent, genre scenes and portraits. He is regarded as an important figure in the transition from the fantastic landscapes of Joachim Patinir to the 'pure landscapes' of later Netherlandish landscape painting.
