Jan Van Scorel, His Style and Its Historical Context
This thesis includes documents discovered by the author while conducting research on Jan van Scorel in The Netherlands and the implications of these documents. The archival information brings the author to a two-fold conclusion: l)that the Italianate style in the North Netherlands in the 16th century was sponsored and spread in court circles and that Jan van Scorel, in particular, found favorable contact with the aristocracy throughout his career, and 2) that Scorel' s vision, perhaps given additional direction by the patronage of the Dutch court circle in the Vatican, was influenced by the contemporary Roman art scene thus implicating him the period style known as Mannerism.
