Portrait of Gerard Schaep van Cortenhoeff
attributed to Bartholomeus Eggers, c. 1663 - c. 1666
Gerard Schaep was one of the conservative Calvinists among the Amsterdam regents. He was held in high esteem for his many years of public service: he was elected mayor a total of eleven times and served as the Republic’s envoy extraordinary to Denmark and Sweden. This lofty status warranted a monumental bust portrait in marble.
