Bust of Cornelis II Landschot

The Bust of Cornelis II Landschot is a marble portrait by Flemish sculptor Sebastiaen van den Eynde.

[3][2] The bust emblematizes the deep influence of Italian sculpture on sculpted portraiture in the Netherlands.

Van den Eynde himself traveled to Italy,[4] living in Rome in the time of François Duquesnoy and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

[6] Cornelis Landschot is depicted in a simple shirt with a square collar, over which a piece of cloth is draped.

[2] It was depicted slightly bent over, probably in order to allow the churchgoers leaving the chapel to better look at the bust from their frog's eye view.
