Biography Cornelius Springer (1817-1891) was a Dutch 19th century landscape painter. He was a pupil of his father, the carpenter Willem Springer (1778-1857) and of Hendrik Gerrit ten Cate, Kasparus Karsen, and Jacobus van der Stok.

He became a member of the Amsterdam painters collective Felix Meritis and won a gold medal for a painting of a church interior in 1847. He is known for watercolours, etchings and drawings, especially of city views and town scenes that he sketched while travelling around the country. He was awarded the Leopold order of Belgium in 1865, and in 1878 he was invited with Jozef Israëls to advise the Dutch Ministry of Public Affairs on the plans for the Rijksmuseum. His son Leonard Springer became a landscape architect.
