Hans Memling · 24 Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

German-Flemish, 1435–1494

Hans Memling was a German-Flemish Northern Renaissance painter. 77 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art, most of them oil paintings. Hans Memling was born in Seligenstadt.

Hans Memling was a German-Flemish painter who worked in the tradition of Early Netherlandish painting. Born in the Middle Rhine region, he probably spent his childhood in Mainz. During his apprenticeship as a painter he moved to the Netherlands and spent time in the Brussels workshop of Rogier van der Weyden.

In 1465 he was made a citizen of Bruges, where he became one of the leading artists and the master of a large workshop. A tax document from 1480 lists him among the wealthiest citizens. Memling's religious works often incorporated donor portraits of the clergymen, aristocrats, and burghers who were his patrons. These portraits built upon the styles which Memling learned in his youth.
