1756 – 1840

Dutch painter, brother of Gerard van Spaendonck. After an apprenticeship with Guillaume-Jacques (Willem) Herreyns at Antwerp, he left for Paris in 1773 to join his brother, as pupil and collaborator. Between 1785 and 1800, Cornelis was director at the Sèvres porcelain factory, but his administrative skills did not equal his abilities as an artist and he lost this appointment, though he continued as a designer there until 1808.Show more
