Cornelis de Neve

Flemish painter

Cornelis de Neve

Flemish painter

''Self-portrait''

Cornelis de Neve or Cornelius de Neve (1602 and 1622 1678) was a Flemish painter who worked for a long period in England as a portrait artist.

Life

Very few details about the life of the artist are known. His father was a painter referred to as Cornelis de Neve the Elder. His father must have moved to London where he died before 1609. Sarah Pookes, the widow of Cornelis de Neve the Elder and the mother of the young Cornelis remarried John de Critz in 1609. John de Critz was a portrait painter who was a prominent member of the Flemish émigré family de Critz. He was also the uncle by marriage of Hester Tradescant.

''Portrait of an officer''

Cornelis de Neve must therefore have been born before 1609. Some art historians believe de Neve may have been a pupil of Anthony van Dyck.

Work

Cornelis de Neve was a specialist portrait painter. His first dated works are from 1627.
