Life

It then formed in Nuremberg under the influence of Dürer and in Italy. From 1522 to 1523 he stayed in Rome. He returned to the Netherlands in 1524 and became canon of St. Mary's Church in Utrecht . From 1527 to 1529 he temporarily left Utrecht due to political unrest and worked in Haarlem .
Works
Scorel is the Dutch painter who pioneered the imitation of the Italians. His main works are:
- Holy clan of the Frangipani altar in the parish church of Obervellach in Carinthia (1520), the earliest preserved signed work - still under the influence of Dürer
- Tempera pictures from the Old Testament (Church of Warmenhuizen near Alkmaar)
- Crucifixion (1530, Bonn, Rheinisches Landesmuseum)
- repentant Magdalena and Bathsheba in the bath (Amsterdam) and
- David killing Goliath (Dresden, gallery)
His portraits, including that of his lover Agathe van Schonhoven in the Palazzo Doria in Rome, are freer from the Italian influence. (See Toman, Studien über J. v. S. (Leipzig 1889)).
