Jan van Scorel's "Portrait of Joris van Egmond" (c. 1535 - 1540) is a striking example of Northern Renaissance portraiture. The painting captures the sitter's presence through his dignified posture and direct gaze, emphasizing his wealth and social standing. Joris van Egmond is depicted wearing a black velvet robe with a fur collar, and his hands are neatly folded, reflecting a sense of composure. Van Scorel's meticulous attention to detail, evident in the texture of the clothing and the sitter's realistic features, contributes to the painting's overall sense of realism and artistry.
Comments
From the inscription on the original frame, we know that this is a portrait of the nobleman Joris van Egmond. He found favour with Emperor Charles V and in 1535 became Bishop of Utrecht. Van Egmond was an important patron to artists, including Van Scorel, who painted his protector on a panel of exceptionally wide format.
