_Ascribed to Hendrik Bles_ (Flemish: about 1480-1550).
Bles, called by the Italians "Civetta" (the owl), on account of
the owl which he often adopted as his monogram, was an imitator
of Patinir (see 715). Van Mander says that his nickname was Met
de Bles (with the forelock), but as he signs himself Henricus
Blessius, it is probable that Bles was his real name.
