Cornelis Willaerts
(Utrecht 1600–1675)
The Feast of the Gods,
signed and dated lower left: Willaerts 1664,
oil on canvas, 77 x 110 cm, framed
A painting by Cornelis Willaerts of similar quality and with a similar treatment of the figures was offered at Sotheby’s, London, 26 April 2001, lot 400. Cornelis Willaerts was the son of the marine painter Adam Willaerts. His daughter was married to the still life painter Abraham Mignon. Probably a pupil of his father, in 1622 Cornelis Willaerts was admitted to the Utrecht painters guild as a master. His works, usually with mythological staffage and deal with small Italian motifs, vividly resemble those of Cornelis van Poelenburgh. Little is otherwise known about the artist, by whom a very small number of signed works are recognised.
