Portrait of Joris van Egmond (1504-1559) — Jan van Scorel

Jan van Scorel. Painted c. 1535 - c. 1540.

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.
