Guillaume Corneille van Beverloo, better known as Corneille (Liège, July 3, 1922 - Auvers-sur-Oise (France), September 5, 2010) was a Dutch Cobra painter. Corneille was born in Liège, Belgium, the child of Dutch parents. Although largely self-taught, he took art courses at the Amsterdam Rijksacademie between 1940 and 1942. In 1946, he held his first exhibition in Groningen. Initially strongly influenced by the work of Picasso, he broke away from this in 1948 and joined the Cobra movement; he is a co-founder of it, together with, among others, the Dutch artists Karel Appel, Jan Nieuwenhuijs, his brother Constant Nieuwenhuijs, and the Belgians Christian Dotremont and Joseph Noiret.
