NOTES / REFERENCES: Cornelis Adamsz Willaerts (Dutch 1600-1666). Born in Utrecht, Holland around 1600, came from a large Dutch family of painters. His father, Adam Willaerts, was one of the many Protestants who emigrated from Flanders to the northern Netherlands at the end of the 16th century. Adam Willaerts had three sons who became painters, Abraham Willaerts and Isaac Willaerts, studied with him and painted marine subjects as well as portraits. Unlike his father and younger brothers, the eldest son Cornelis Willaerts (1600–66) was a history painter who also painted portraits and landscapes, including Arcadian scenes in the manner of Cornelis van Poelenburch. Cornelis Adamsz Willaerts died in Utrecht around 1666.
