Description for Cornelius Johnson
Paperback. A small in-focus book on the significant but hitherto under studied English-born painter Cornelius Johnson.

BIC Classification: ACQ; AFC; AGB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 262 x 218 x 10. Weight in Grams: 396.

Johnson’s career coincided with one of the most dramatically and politically intense periods of British and Dutch history, as this book will explore, and he ... Read more
