Cornelis Cornelisz of Haarlem (1562 - November 11, 1638)

                                                                                                                   

The Fall of Lucifer

1588

Haarlem was a superb Mannerist painter, who often treated subjects in a very satirical fashion, as he does in the painting below. But, though a wonderful painter of figures, there was often something lacking in his treatment of environments. The deficiency is somewhat explained in the fact that there was a long continuation of Mannerism in the North, when the Baroque period was already in full swing (compare, for instance, his near contemporary's work, Rubens', with Haarlem's). But, despite a slight anachronism, he was able to create massive and wonderful paintings.
