Adriaen Isenbrandt or Adriaen Ysenbrandt (between 1480 and 1490 – July 1551)

• Was a Netherlandish-Northern Renaissance painter.
• He is named for the first time in 1510, when he came to Bruges and bought his burghership.
• In November of the same year he became master in the local painters' Guild of St. Luke and the goldsmiths' guild of St. Elooi.
• Art historians have conjectured that he operated a large workshop specializing in religious subjects and devotional paintings.
• He was believed by Georges Hulin de Loo to be the same person as the anonymous Master of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin or Pseudo-Mostaert.
• Other art historians doubt that any works can be reliably attributed to him, and the number of paintings attributed to him by major museums has been in decline for many decades.
