点评:Of all the statues in the world, this one will not blow you away. Nonetheless, it us hard to miss and worth a few minutes of your time. Hans Memling was a painter active in Flanders, 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 (bankers, merchants, and politicians) who were his patrons. These portraits built upon the styles which Memling learned in his youth.
