About Cornelis Mathijsen van der Weele
There is almost no information known about this Dutch painter.
He is documented between 1629 and 1643 in Goes, a small town in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
In 1629 he was a witness in Rotterdam; he then stated to be 37 years old, so he must have been born circa 1592.
And that’s it.
A large (70 X 151 cm) monogrammed and dated (1652) painting representing Christ and the Centurion (with many other figures) might also have been painted by our painter. It surfaced for the last time onto the art market in 1950.
