Memling, Hans
Flemish painter. He was probably a pupil of van der Weyden, but his style is calmer and softer. He painted religious subjects and also portraits, including Tommaso Portinari and His Wife (about 1480; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York).
His works, which were highly regarded in Renaissance Italy, where they influenced PPerugino and others, include: The Mystic Marriage of St Catherine (Hospital of St John, Bruges); the Donne Triptych (National Gallery, London), which includes both a self-portrait and a portrait of the English donor, Sir John Donne; Bathsheba (Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart), a life-sized nude; and such fine portraits as that of Guillaume Moreel and his wife (Musée des Beaux-Arts, Brussels).
