The Brunswick Monogrammist frequently revisited the subject matter of brothel scenes. The artist’s identity has not yet been clarified with certainty. Max Joseph Friedländer identified him as the young Jan Sanders van Hemessen, whereas most scholars believe that the artist behind this name is actually Jan van Amstel (Antwerp circa 1500–1542). The name given to this anonymous painter is based on a monogrammed Banquet in the Herzog-Anton-Ulrich-Museum, Braunschweig. According to art historiography, Jan van Amstel was the brother of the painter Pieter Aertsen and the brother-in-law of Pieter Coecke van Aelst.
