The breathtaking work of Hans Memling, the Flemish primitive in Bruges.
The Flemish primitive Hans Memling (c. 1435–1494), who played a crucial role in early Dutch painting, is inextricably linked to Bruges. His most impressive creations are undoubtedly the St. John’s Altar and the Ursula Shrine, which he made on behalf of St. John’s Hospital. In addition, seven other masterpieces by the old master can be admired in the Bruges Museum Sint-Janshospitaal and the Groeninge Museum.
This book shows Memling’s breathtaking works of art in great detail and offers a unique opportunity to get to know or rediscover his work better.
Anna Koopstra, curator of early Dutch painting at Musea Brugge, talks in accessible essays about Memling’s imagination, his technical mastery and the cultural context in which the painter lived and worked. IN DUTCH, BUT AVAILABLEE IN FRENCH OR ENGLISH UPON REQUEST AT €39,95
