Cornelis Engelsz: A Master of Portraits Step into the world of 17th-century Dutch portraiture with Cornelis Engelsz, a talented artist known for his captivating works. One of his notable creations is "Portrait of a Man, " painted in 1645 and attributed to Jan Verspronck. This mesmerizing piece showcases Engelsz's ability to capture the essence and personality of his subjects. Engelsz's talent extended beyond individuals, as seen in "Portrait Willem Fransz Overrijn Schoterbosch. " The intricate details and lifelike representation demonstrate his skillful brushwork. Similarly, he immortalized Floris Gerritsz van Schoterbosch in another striking portrait dating back to the late 16th century. The lineage continues with "Portrait Frans Overrijn van Schoterbosch" from around 1484. Although partially attributed to Engelsz, this artwork exemplifies his influence on subsequent generations within the Schoterbosch family. Engelsz also captured religious figures like Pieter Salina in a half-length standing position, showcasing both devotion and reverence. His attention to detail brings these holy figures closer to our hearts. Among other remarkable portraits are those depicting Johan Gerritsz van Schoterbosch and Gerrit Willemsz van Schoterbosch – both testaments to Engelsz's ability to convey character through paintbrush strokes. Collaborations were an integral part of Engelsz's career too; he worked alongside renowned artists such as Cornelis Jacobs Delff and Gheraert Verspronck on various projects that further solidified his reputation as a master portraitist. Two exceptional pieces linked directly to Engels' name include "Portrait of Floris Gerritsz Overrijn van Schoterbosch" from an unknown date but believed to be created around the same period as other works attributed to him.
