Brunswick (Braunschweig) Monogrammist, active (in the mid-to-late 16th century)

• Was an anonymous Netherlandish painter, active in the mid-to-late 16th century.
• He (or she) painted religious scenes but also several scenes of secular merriment, including brothel and tavern scenes, and has been called "the most significant precursor of Pieter Bruegel the Elder".
• The monogram for which the Brunswick Monogrammist is named appears only once, on his (or her) Parable of the Great Supper in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Brunswick.
• It is composed of the interlocked letters J, V, A, M, S and L, and neither it nor careful analysis of his work have yielded consensus about his identity.
