Known for paintings commissioned by churches and monasteries, subjects included religious themes, allegorical, and mythological scenes. From 1624 to 1627 he was in Rome, where he was a founder-member of the Schildersbent \(the group of Netherlandish artists active in Rome at that time\). Schut worked there under the patronage of the Flemish merchant Pieter de Vischere.
