Cornelis de Man ( Delft 1621 - Delft 1706 )
Cornelis de Man was almost forgotten until 1903, when art historian Hofstede de Groot rediscovered his work. Little is known of his life. He may have been from a family of jewellers; he was certainly related to the clergy, which automatically would have elevated him to a social class both feared and highly esteemed. |
