The Brunswick Monogrammist

He is named after a monogrammed painting of 'The Feeding of the Poor' in the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum in Brunswick. The monogram has not been convincingly deciphered but the picture, executed in about 1540, may be associated with several others of religious and secular subjects. The painter has often been identified as Jan van Amstel, active in Antwerp by 1527 and dead by 1543.
