Endure repulsive piece he painted (5)
I believe the answer is:
durer
'he painted' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'endure repulsive' is the subsidiary indication.
'durer' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'piece' is the link.
(Other definitions for durer that I've seen before include "C Fifteenth-Sixteenth German painter/engraver" , "German artist, d. 1528" , "Albrecht -, Ger. artist" , "Albrecht --, German engraver/painter" , "Albrecht --, German engraver and artist" .)
