Question
Hello Rebecca. Can you please tell me how to pronounce the name of the 17th-century Flemish painter Gijsbrechts?

Thanks.

Camille

Answer
Hi Camille, The painter you are thinking of was also known as Cornelius Gysbrechts. I would try and pronounce it like this; Gis-breks. But try and roll the r in the later half of the last name.

Hope this helps..
