Jan Van Scorel Biography
(b schoorl, nr alkmaar, 1 aug 1495; d utrecht, 6 dec 1562). north netherlandish painter and ecclesiastic. he was one of the first north netherlandish artists to visit italy, and his return to utrecht in 1524 can be regarded as a turning-point in the history of painting in the northern netherlands. the important role scorel played in introducing italian art in the north was recognized even by contemporary writers and was reiterated slightly later by van mander, who noted that frans floris and others called scorel ‘the torchbearer and pioneer of our arts in the netherlands’.
