_Corneille de Lyons_ (French: 16th Century).
Two painters are catalogued under this name, father and son,
who are sometimes distinguished as "Corneille le Grand" and
"Corneille le Petit." The elder was a Flemish painter, who
became naturalised in France in 1547. In 1540 he was appointed
Painter to the Dauphin; in 1551, Painter to the King. He is
mentioned in a poem of 1544, and in a deed of 1564. Several
portraits in the Museum of Versailles and at Chantilly are
ascribed to him. (See Henri Bouchot's _Les Clouet et Corneille
de Lyon_.)
