Author's biography |
Bening (or Benig), the name of two Flemish book illuminators, father and son.Sanders (sometimes called Alexander) (d. 1519) worked in Ghent and Bruges. No documented works by him are known, but attempts have been made to identify him with the Master of Mary of Burgundy, which would give him an artistic status appropriate to the success he seems to have enjoyed. Simon worked in Bruges and represents one of the final sparks of the tradition of illumination as the manuscript was overtaken by the printed bock. There is a self-portrait miniature by Simon in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. His daughter, Levina Teerlinc (d. 1576) was also a miniaturist. She settled in London in 1546 and worked at the English court. |
