Cornelis Schut III

He had more pupils, many of whom such as Manual Gallardo, José Lopez Chico and Juan Antonop Lopes dedicated themselves in their professional careers to the polychroming of retables.

He was one of the most generous contributors to the academy, often paying out of his own pocket the salary of art models and offering prizes to pupils.

[3] He maintained close relationships with the artistic community in Seville as well as with the Flemish and Dutch merchants in the city.

Despite his successful career he died as a pauper since the treatment of the painful illness that led to his death had been very costly.

He made many versions of the Immaculate Conception, a theme in which he shows strong similarities to Murillo's iconographic treatment of this subject.
