known Flemish émigré landscape painters, who are now collectively referred to as the 'Frankenthal School'. The early 17th century art historian Karel van Mander wrote about Coninxloo in his Schilder-boeck. Van Mander stated that Coninxloo's teacher Pieter Coeke van Aelst was his cousin, and that I know at this time of no better landscape painter, and I notice that they are following his manner very much in Holland. The influence of his work spread in Holland by means of his designs for large-scale prints, mainly engraved by Flemish émigré printmakers Nicolaes de Bruyn and Jan van Londerseel who published in the Dutch Republic. Works Some of his paintings are: "The Judgment of Midas" (Dresden) "Latona" (Hermitage, St. Petersburg) "Landscape with Venus and Adonis" (Frankenthal) "Landscape with Duck Hunters" (Saarland Museum, Saarbrücken) Notes References Sutton, Peter C., ed.
