Cornelius Nozeman

15 August 1720 – 22 July 1786

Nederlandsche Vogelen - Dutch Birds

Cornelius Nozeman, a Dutch minister of the Remonstrant church and an ornithologist, provided the inspiration for this finest Dutch work on ornithology and one of the greatest of all time: Nederlandsche Vogelen [Dutch Birds].

It was a unique collaborative effort of two Dutch masters, and a project of huge scope and ambition, taking over 60 years to complete. The renowned engraver and artist, Christiaan Sepp drew the illustrations and Nozeman wrote the text for the first two volumes.

Nozeman’s images displayed on the website differ in color and clarity, since we still have to apply the extensive process of retouching and updating to most of his facsimiles.
