Specialist note

Relatively little is known about this Utrecht painter and his artistic personality was virtually unknown until Pieter van den Brink and Marten Jan Bok made a reconstruction of his oeuvre in 1994 (see P. van den Brink & M.J. Bok, 'Aelbert Jansz. van der Schoor, een Utrechts schilder en zijn werk', Oud Holland, CVIII, 1994, II, pp. 37-55). Van der Schoor painted portraits, still-lifes and genre pieces as well as history subjects in a style much influenced by Abraham Bloemaert and Jan van Bijlert.
