Cornelis Boelとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Cornelis Boel, a Flemish engraver, was born at Antwerp about the year 1580. He worked chiefly with the graver, in the style of the Sadelers, in whose school it is probable he was instructed. His plates are executed in a clear, neat style, and possess considerable merit. He engraved a set of oval plates for the 'Fables of Otto Voenius,' published at Antwerp in 1608. His most considerable works were eight large plates of the battles of Charles V and Francis I, executed in conjunction with Jode de Gheyn, the younger, after Tempesta. He was probably in England, as appears from one of his plates, the Frontispiece to a Bible, published by the royal authority in 1611, very neatly engraved, which is signed C Boel fecit, in Richmont, 1611. We have also by him a Portrait of Henry, Prince of Wales, an oval plate, with an ornamental border ; and another plate, of 'The Last Judgment,' Cornelis Boel fecit, without the name of the painter.
