CORT, CORNELIS (1536-1578)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 205 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORT, CORNELIS (1536-1578) , Dutch engraver, was born at Horn in Holland, and studied engraving under Hieronymus Cockx of Antwerp. About 1565 he went to Venice, where Titian employed him to execute the well-known copperplates of St Jerome in the Desert, the Magdalen, Prometheus,
Diana
  and
Actaeon
 , and
Diana
  and Calisto. From Italy he wandered back to the
Netherlands
 , but he returned to Venice soon after 1567, proceeding thence to Bologna and Rome, where he produced engravings from all the
great
  masters of the time. At Rome he founded the well-known school in which, as Bartsch tells us, the simple line of Marcantonio was modified by a brilliant
touch
  of the burin, afterwards imitated and perfected by Agostino Caracci in Italy and Nicolas de Bruyn in the
Netherlands
 . Before visiting Italy, Cort had been content to copy Michael Coxcie, F.
Floris
 , Heemskerk, G. Mostaert, Bartholomaus Spranger and Stradan. In Italy he gave circulation to the works of
Raphael
 , Titian, Polidoro da Caravaggio, Baroccio, Giulio Clovio, Muziano and the Zuccari. His connexion with Cockx and Titian is pleasantly illustrated in a
letter
  addressed to the latter by Dominick Lampson of Liege in 1567. Cort is said to have engraved upwards of one hundred and fifty-one plates. In Italy he was known as Cornelio Fiammingo.
