Memling, Hans (sh)




or Hans Memlinc

born งใ 1430/35, Seligenstadt, near Frankfurt am Main
died Aug. 11, 1494, Bruges

Flemish painter.

He settled in Bruges in 1465 and established a large workshop that became very successful and made him one of the city's wealthiest citizens. Though somewhat derivative of the works of contemporary Flemish painters (Jan van Eyck, Dirck Bouts, Hugo van der Goes, and particularly Rogier van der Weyden), his art has great charm and a distinctive character. Memling's religious paintings and portraits of wealthy patrons (e.g., Tommaso Portinari and His Wife, งใ 1468) were, and remain, enormously popular.
