Cornelis Molenaer

[2] Only a few works of this artist are known, all representing landscapes with a scene from the bible.

A composition called Wooded landscape with the good Samaritan, which is monogrammed C M is in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

It portrays a wide wooded landscape with a village in the distance and various scenes.

In another scene a couple is being attacked by soldiers who try to defend themselves, the woman more vigorously than the man.

Some villagers nearby appear concerned in contrast to a Catholic priest who passes by unconcerned by the plight of the other people in the composition.
