Pseudo Jan Wellens de Cock is a conventional name assigned by art historians to an unidentified early Netherlandish artist active in the early sixteenth century, probably in Antwerp. The designation marks a group of works once attributed to the painter Jan Wellens de Cock but later judged to be by a separate, anonymous hand. Paintings, drawings, and prints gathered under the name, including a Calvary, are executed in the Antwerp manner of the period, combining religious subjects with detailed landscape settings. He worked as a painter, printmaker, and draftsman. His real identity and biographical details remain unknown.
