Corneille De Lyon

15001574

Netherlandish-born painter, active mainly at Lyons in France. He was a native of The Hague (in France he is still often known as "Corneille de La Haye"), but he settled in Lyons in 1534 and in 1540 he became court painter to the Dauphin, later Henry II. Contemporary references to Corneille indicate that he had a considerable reputation as a portrait painter, but only one work survives that is unquestionably from his hand, a portrait of Pierre Aymeric (Louvre, Paris, 1553), authenticated by an inscription in the sitter's handwriting on the back of the picture.
