MEMLING, Hans: Triptych of Jan Floreins (reverse)

🖼 Triptych of Jan Floreins (reverse), 1479
Oil on oak panel (each wing)
48 × 25 cm
Bruges, Belgium

Intricate gold leaf and tempera create a formal religious scene across three panels, with saints symmetrically framing a central Madonna. This Flemish masterpiece demonstrates Memling's mastery of devotional portraiture and patronage commissions that defined 15th-century Bruges wealth and piety.
