Adriaen Ysenbrandt became a Master of the Bruges Guild in 1510 and was active there until his death in 1551. His name has become associated with various works which may in fact have been created by different (unidentified) artists, but which have stylistic similarities. A Crucifixion with a similar composition is at Hatfield House and is attributed to 'Ysenbrandt'.Provenance
