Cornelis, a name that resonates with artistic brilliance and historical significance. From the mesmerizing compositions of Piet Mondrian to the enchanting winter landscapes painted by Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, this name has left an indelible mark on the world of art. In 1913, Piet Mondrian created "Composition VII, " an oil on canvas masterpiece that showcased his unique style of abstract art. The geometric shapes and vibrant colors in this piece captivate viewers, leaving them in awe of Mondrian's creative genius. Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, on the other hand, transported us to a serene winter wonderland with his landscape paintings from 1835-1838. His attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of nature make these artworks truly breathtaking. Hendrik Goltzius takes us back even further in time with his works like "Icarus" and "The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus, " both created in 1588. These pieces depict mythological tales filled with drama and intensity, showcasing Goltzius' mastery as an artist. Moving away from paintings, we delve into cartography with Cornelis de Jodes' map from 1593. This map showcases Western North America and features intriguing elements such as sea monsters and European sailing ships, and is a testament to de Jodes' skill in creating intricate maps that ignite curiosity about unexplored territories. The Four Disgracers series by Hendrik Goltzius introduces us to Phaeton and Ixion - characters whose stories have been immortalized through art since ancient times. Goltzius brings their tales alive through detailed engravings that evoke emotions ranging from sympathy to awe. Jan Cornelis Woudanus transports us inside the library of the University of Leyden through his colored engraving from 1610.
