专家说明

This panel has generally been accepted as a work by Ambrosius Benson, a key figure of 16th century Bruges and a continuator of the great pictorial tradition established by Gérard David. Benson ran a large workshop, which makes it highly likely that there is some studio participation in this work. It is tempting to see the distinctive figure of Saint Luke, with his aquiline nose and prominent chin, as a self-portrait of this enigmatic artist.
