Cornelis Bisschop (12 February 1630 – 21 January 1674), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
Biography
In ca. 1650 he was a student of Ferdinand Bol in Amsterdam.[1] In 1653 he was back in Dordrecht, where he got married. According to Houbraken he was the first to paint carved trompe-l'œil wooden panels in such an ingenious way that they became quite popular.[2] He painted historical allegories, portraits, still lifes, and genre-works. He was asked to paint for the Danish court, but he died unexpectedly, leaving his wife and eleven children.[3]
Of these children, two sons Abraham and Jacobus and three daughters became painters. These had been his students along with Margaretha van Godewijk who wrote an emblem about his self-portrait with a curtain, which illustrates the legend of Zeuxis.[2]
