"The Prodigal Son" (1536) is a notable oil painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Jan Sanders van Hemessen, who was active during the 16th century in Antwerp. This work is an interpretation of the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, as recounted in the Gospel of Luke. The painting depicts the moment when the wayward son, having squandered his inheritance, repents and returns to his father's house in a state of destitution.

Van Hemessen's rendition of this parable is particularly significant for its detailed portrayal of 16th-century clothing and domestic interiors, providing a glimpse into the era's material culture. The artist's use of vivid colors and meticulous attention to textural details enhances the dramatic effect of the narrative. The composition is characterized by its dynamic figures and the emotional contrast between the penitent son and the other characters, which reflects the moral lessons of the story.

The painting is also an example of the Northern Renaissance's engagement with religious themes, where artists often infused traditional subjects with contemporary elements and humanist ideals. Van Hemessen was known for his sophisticated narrative paintings and for incorporating elements of genre painting into religious scenes, a style that is evident in "The Prodigal Son."

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The Prodigal Son" by Jan Sanders van Hemessen is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be an important work for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the cultural context of the period. Its depiction of the Prodigal Son narrative has been analyzed by art historians for its allegorical content, as well as its reflection of societal attitudes towards repentance and forgiveness during the artist's lifetime.
