"Brother Cornelis disguised as a Nun and a Penitent Woman" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Philips Koninck. The artwork is notable for its depiction of a controversial historical figure, Brother Cornelis Adriaenszoon van Dordrecht, who was a Franciscan preacher known for his fiery sermons and subsequent fall from grace. In the painting, Koninck captures the moment of Brother Cornelis's alleged disguise as a nun, a scandalous act that contributed to his infamy.

The painting is characterized by Koninck's attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative through portraiture. The composition features Brother Cornelis in the habit of a nun, alongside a penitent woman, possibly alluding to the themes of repentance and deception. The use of light and shadow, as well as the expressive faces of the figures, underscore the dramatic tension of the scene.

Philips Koninck, a student of Rembrandt, was adept at landscape painting but also explored historical and genre scenes. "Brother Cornelis disguised as a Nun and a Penitent Woman" stands out in his oeuvre as a work that delves into the complexities of human character and societal norms of the time. The painting serves as a window into the religious and cultural controversies of the Dutch Golden Age, reflecting the period's fascination with morality tales and the consequences of transgression.

Today, the painting is considered an important work for its historical subject matter and its representation of 17th-century Dutch art. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the period's social and religious dynamics.
