Brunswick Monogrammist
( fl second quarter of the 16th century). Flemish painter. He was active in Antwerp and is named after the Feeding of the Poor (Brunswick, Herzog Anton Ulrich-Mus.), which is signed with a monogram found only on this panel and apparently composed of the interlocked letters J, v, A, M, S and L. His identity has been greatly disputed. Some consider his works as youthful paintings by Jan van Hemessen (Eisenmann, Graefe, Puyvelde and Friedländer), but most recent scholars have linked him with JAN VAN AMSTEL (Hoogewerff, Genaille, Faggin, Schubert and Wallen). Bergmans has suggested the name of Meyken Verhulst (d 1600), wife of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, and restricts the oeuvre to four paintings.
