JANSSEN, or JANSEN (sometimes JOHNSON), CORNELIUS (1593-1664)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 154 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JANSSEN, or JANSEN (sometimes JOHNSON), CORNELIUS (1593-1664) , Flemish painter, was apparently born in London, and baptized on the 14th of October 1593. There seems no reason to suppose, as was formerly stated, that he was born at
Amsterdam
 . He worked in England from 1618 to 1643, and afterwards retired to Holland, working at Middelburg,
Amsterdam
 , The Hague and
Utrecht
 , and dying at one of the last two places about 1664. In England he was patronized by James I. and the
court
 , and under Charles I. he continued to paint the numerous portraits which adorn many
English
  mansions and collections. Janssen's pictures, chiefly portraits, are distinguished by clear colouring, delicate
touch
 , good
taste
  and careful finish. He generally painted upon
panel
 , and often worked on a small scale, sometimes producing replicas of his larger works. A characteristic of his style is the very dark background, which throws the carnations of his portraits into rounded
relief
 . In all probability his earliest portrait (16,8) was that of John Milton as a boy of ten.
