Ketel, Cornelis
(b Gouda, 18 March 1548; d Amsterdam, 8 Aug 1616). Dutch painter, draughtsman and sculptor, active also in France and England. He was one of the most important portrait and narrative painters of the Dutch Mannerist school of the late 16th century and the early 17th. He received his earliest training in Gouda from his uncle Cornelis Jacobsz. Ketel (d c. 1568) and studied for a year with the painter Anthonie Blocklandt in Delft c. 1565. Ketel then travelled to France and lived in Paris and Fontainebleau. However, because of the uncertain political climate, he returned to the Netherlands and from 1567 to 1573 worked in Gouda.
