Portrait of Gerard Schaep van Cortenhoeff

attributed to Bartholomeus Eggers, 1663

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.
