Works
Bening was commisioned by Robert de Clercq, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Ter Duinen (‘Les Dunes’) at Koksijde near Bruges to illuminate a Benedictional for him sometime between 1519 and 1529. Bening even included Robert de Clercq in a colourful Crucifixion scene. The manuscript is currently held in Cambridge University Library.
