Scorel is the one Dutch painter who worked groundbreaking for the imitation of the Italians. His main works are:

  • A wing altar in the parish church of St. Martin to Obervellach in Carinthia (1520, still under the influence Dürer )
  • Tempera paintings from the Old Testament ( Church Warmenhuizen at Alkmaar )
  • Crucifixion (1530, Bonn, Rhineland Museum )
  • Repentant Magdalene and Bathsheba in the bath (Amsterdam) and
  • David Goliath killing ( Dresden Gallery )

Free from the Italian influence are his portraits, including his beloved Agathe van Hoven Even in the Palazzo Doria at Rome. (See Toman, studies of J. v. S. ( Leipz. 1889) ).
