Cornelis Lieste
(1817 - 1861)

Cornelis Lieste was a Dutch painter and lithographer. He specialized in Romantic style landscapes.
He was one of the artists who participated in decorating the "Parkzaal" at the Wertheimplantsoen [nl] during the celebration of Rembrandt's 400th birthday in 1852. He set off travelling again in 1853; visiting the Rhine region, Switzerland and North Italy; painting some of his few mountain landscapes. From 1854 to 1856, he was a regular guest at the artists' colony in Oosterbeek. Just before his death, he paid an extended visit to Twente and Drenthe, where he sketched the dolmens in addition to his usual landscapes.
