Cornelis Kruseman

Cornelis Kruseman (; 25 September 1797 – 14 November 1857) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, etcher, lithographer, silhouettist, paper-cut artist, and art collector. His works included portraits, as well as Petrus Antonius Ravelli (1788–1861).

Kruseman continued to live in Amsterdam until he travelled to Paris and Italy in 1821. From 1847 to 1854 he lived in The Hague, and after that in Lisse until his death. His painting 'The Legend' is on view in Teylers Museum in Haarlem.

Legacy In 1917, a street, the Cornelis Krusemanstraat, was named after him in Amsterdam, in 1954 in Eindhoven, and in 1956 in Leeuwarden. The Krusemanstraat in Ede was also named after Cornelis Kruseman, in 1981.

In 1996, Mrs J.M.C. Ising (19 July 1899 – 6 October 1996), a descendant of Johannes Diederik Kruseman (16 March 1794 – 13 January 1861), the brother of Cornelis Kruseman, established the foundation Cornelis Kruseman - J.M.C. Ising Stichting, the Cornelis Kruseman Stichting for short. The foundation's objective is to gain more recognition for the work of Cornelis Kruseman and his painting relatives.
