About Cornelia toe Boecop

Lived 1551 – 1629 (aged 77–78). Cornelia toe Boecop was a painter.

Cornelia toe Boecop (born 1551 – after 1629) was a Dutch fine art painter from the Dutch Republic. Her mother and older sister were also painters.

Biography Cornelia toe Boecop was born in 1551 in Kampen into a wealthy family as one of five siblings. Her father was the city councilor Egbert toe Boecop and her mother was the famous painter Mechtelt van Lichtenberg. Cornelia's older sister Margaretha toe Boecop also became a painter. The daughters were probably educated by their mother, as painting and drawing, like needlework and music, were part of a girl's education in high society at that time. Her first marriage was to Roric van Harderwijck before 1601 and after he died, she married Gerrit Boecop van Houwenberch. There were no known offspring from these marriages.

Works Four of Cornelia's works are known to exist. Crucifixion (1593), Stedelijk Museum Kampen Portrait of a Woman, Stedelijk Museum Kampen Portrait of a Man from the Van der Vecht-van Zuilen van Nijevelt family, Stedelijk Museum Kampen Portrait of Ott van Bronckhorst (1606), Rijksmuseum
