Cornelius Johnson Art
British, 1593-1661
Cornelius Johnson Cornelius Johnson or Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen (Dutch) also Cornelius Jonson van Ceulen, (born 14 October 1593 – died 5 August 1661) was an English painter of portraits of Dutch or Flemish parentage. He was active in England, from at least 1618 to 1643, when he moved to Middelburg in the Netherlands to escape the English Civil War. Johnson painted many portraits of emerging new English gentry. His early portraits were panel paintings with "fictive" oval frames – they appear to have a wooden or marble oval surround, but this is actually painted on to the panel. This trompe-l'œil effect was one of Johnson' favourite devices in the early part of his career. "His figures are usually placed in front of dark, undefined backgrounds with focus on their faces and elaborate costumes that denote their social standing. Cornelius Johnson has been described as "one of the most gifted and prolific portrait painters practising in England during the 1620s and 1630s".
One of his remarkable paintings Portrait of a Woman, 1655-56, is found at Princeton University Art Museum, USA. Following the Netherlandish tradition, he was particularly accurate and detailed in depiction of clothing. As a result, his portraits are especially useful to costume historians. His works can be found in major collections in the UK and overseas as well as in private collections in stately homes in Britain.to
