Cornelis Bisschop

Cornelis Bisschop was active in the arts for an extensive period spanning 1660 to 1777. The artist’s documented body of work includes both painting and graphic arts, with collections holding one known painting and five distinct prints. Bisschop favored pastoral scenes, animal studies, and genre subjects that capture intimate interactions.

The prints demonstrate a precise focus on livestock and landscape elements, as evidenced by titles such as Landschap met liggende koe met horens and the study Kop van stier met touw aan horen en kop van koe. The known painting, A Young Woman and a Cavalier, illustrates Bisschop's competence in figure work and domestic scenes.

The artist is represented in major international collections, including the Rijksmuseum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The presence of Cornelis Bisschop prints and the singular Cornelis Bisschop painting in these institutions solidifies the artist's historical record. Today, these works are often reproduced as high-quality prints, with many being available in the public domain as downloadable artwork for scholarly and personal use.
