Cornelius Cort
Cornelius Cort is an artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Dutch printmaker Cornelius Cort carved dramatic religious scenes in the mid-1500s. His prints bring crowded martyrdoms and tombs to stark life, using sharp lines to highlight struggle and stillness. Look at the way light cuts across *Martyrdom of St. Lawrence* or how shadows pool around the *Tomb of Lorenzo De’ Medici* in his engravings. Tap *Transfiguration* to see how he packs theological weight into a single sheet of paper.
