CORNELIS PRONK 

 On this day of 10th December, Cornelis Pronk (10 December 1691 – 28 or 29 September 1759), also known as Cornelis Pronck, was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

He was a draughtsman, painter, and porcelain designer, known particularly for his numerous drawings of cities, towns, and buildings, as well as for his porcelain designs.

Pronk started to take lessons in drawing and painting from the painter Jan van Houten and from portrait painter Arnold Boonen 

In 1715 he established himself as a painter, joining the Saint Lucas guild of painters. Early in his career, he was primarily a portrait painter and a copyist.

He was also known as a painter of theatre sets.  

Pronk toured the Dutch Republic, usually on foot, to sketch views of cities, towns, and landscapes, as well as castles, stately homes, and other buildings, documenting in detail. Each of these field sketches would form the basis for one or several drawings, which he produced back in his studio. On his travels, he would occasionally cross the border into Germany, when he made drawings around Kleve and Cologne.

Together with his pupils Jan de Beijer and Abraham de Haen produced over 700 drawings for Het verheerlykt Nederland (The glorified Netherlands), a multi-volume work documenting all the provinces of the Dutch Republic. Many of his drawings were turned into engravings by other artists such as Hendrik Spilman and Simon Fokke. Pronk also contributing drawings to a 1760 atlas of the province of Zeeland, Een en twintig gezigten der stemmende steden van Zeeland en derzelver voorname gebouwen.

Pronk's drawing technique was to use subtle lighting and shadow effects and also added numerous anecdotal details to his drawings. Thereby the drawings attained not only a documentary but also artistic value. Pronk's drawings are characterized by clear, simple lines that captured the essence of the buildings he depicted. He knew how to leave out details that would have crowded the drawings.

Pronk's sketchbooks are in the collection of the Rijksprentenkabinet (National Cabinet of Prints), now part of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

In 1997, the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem held an exhibition of Pronk's work.
