拍品专文

An attribution to the Brunswick Monogrammist, an anonymous Netherlandish artist named after a painting in Brunswick (Herzog-Anton- Ulrich Museum), The Parable of the Great Supper, has also been suggested. Attempts have been made to identify him with Jan Sanders van Hemessen and, more convincingly, Jan van Amstel (c.1500-40), a Southern Netherlandish painter born in the north who was probably the brother of Pieter Aertsen and who was also related by marriage to Pieter Coecke van Aelst. For further information on the Brunswick Monogrammist, see M.J. Friedländer, Early Netherlandish Painting, XII, Leiden, 1975, pp. 122-7.
