Monogrammist LAM
French
Monogrammist LAM is a French Mannerism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Monogrammist LAM is the conventional name given to an otherwise unidentified painter known only from the initials LAM found on his work. Catalogued as French, he is associated with the Portrait of a Man in White. As with other monogrammists, his true identity has not been established, and the designation serves to group works sharing the same signature or hand until documentary evidence permits a firmer attribution.
Such notional names are common in the study of European portraiture, where many capable artists survive only through an abbreviated mark rather than a recorded biography.
