Hans Memling

German-born painter who moves to Flanders

1430 CE to 1494 CE

Hans Memling (also spelled Memlinc; c. 1430 – 11 August 1494) is a German-born painter who moved to Flanders and works in the tradition of Early Netherlandish painting.

He spends some time in the Brussels workshop of Rogier van der Weyden, and after Rogier's death in 1464, Memling is made a citizen of Bruges, where he becomes one of the leading artists, painting both portraits and diptychs for personal devotion and several large religious works, seamlessly continuing the style he learned in his youth.
