Constant Cornelis Huijsmans was a Dutch art teacher and painter, whose roots go back to the seventeenth-century Antwerp of the landscape painter Cornelis Huysmans. Paintings of the latter are to be found at the Louvre in Paris and at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Earlier generations of the Huijsmans family used to spell their family name slightly differently, as Huysmans.
