Ambrosius Benson - La Piedad, Museo del Prado, Madrid

Ambrosius Benson (c. 1495-1550) was a Flemish painter who worked in Bruges during the Renaissance. He is known for his religious paintings, portraits and landscapes, often with rich colours and intricate detail. Benson's style was heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance art, especially the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. He was also known for his use of light and shadow to create depth and realism in his paintings. Some of his most famous works include 'The Last Judgment', 'The Virgin and Child with Saints' and 'Portrait of a Lady'. Benson's legacy continues to inspire artists today, and his works can be found in museums and galleries around the world.
