Cornelis Willemsz. and Geertgen tot Sint Jans : The identification of a Haarlem painter and his relation to Geertgen tot Sint Jans and the Haarlem convent of the Johannites

Master thesis | Arts and Culture (MA)

This thesis is a new and distinctive contribution to the knowledge on Geertgen tot Sint Jans and Cornelis Willemsz. Through a recently digitalized source, the Liber Memoriarum, new light is thrown on the two painters and the convent they are buried in. A thorough analysis of the Liber Memoriarum reveals how the painters were connected to the convent. This is accompanied by a critically commented overview of the archival recordings related to the two painters. Furthermore, in the Liber Memoriarum is recorded that Cornelis Willemsz. is buried in the Haarlem convent. This has great implications for our understanding of this artist and his attributed oeuvre. Based on the new information the attributed oeuvre of Cornelis Willemsz. is revised. Additionally, an archival entry is used to date the year Cornelis Willemsz. moved into the convent of the Haarlem Johannites.
