Hans Memling, 16th century - Virgin and Child - fine art print

General specifications from the museum (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

The infant Christ, resting in his mother’s arms, delicately raises a blossom in his left hand. Mary, dressed in a gem-edged blue robe with a red mantle, gazes serenely down at her son. The pair, framed by a fictive stone archway, are positioned as if to appear directly behind a carpet-covered ledge. This aperture device was commonly used by fifteenth-century Netherlandish painters like Hans Memling to establish a sense of connection between the viewer and the painted image. The composition of the Lehman picture is an amalgam of motifs found in Virgin and Child paintings by Memling, especially a painting now in Lisbon, and is also related to an engraving of the same subject by the Master FVB. However, despite its reliance on Memling prototypes, the Lehman Virgin and Child was probably created by an early sixteenth-century artist working in the master’s style.

This painting was created by Hans Memling. The artpiece measures the size: 15 1/16 x 11 1/8 in (38,3 x 28,3 cm); painted surface 12 3/8 x 7 15/16 (31,5 x 20,2 cm). Oil on oak panel was used by the artist as the medium of the masterpiece. Nowadays, this work of art is in the the digital collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is located in New York City, New York, United States of America. The contemporary art masterpiece, which is in the public domain is being provided with courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Robert Lehman Collection, 1975. Creditline of the artwork: Robert Lehman Collection, 1975. Further, the alignment is in portrait format and has a ratio of 3 : 4, meaning that the length is 25% shorter than the width. Hans Memling was a male Netherlandish, whose artistic style can mainly be classified as Northern Renaissance. The European artist lived for 64 years, born in 1430 in Seligenstadt, Hessen state, Germany and deceased in 1494 in Bruges, West-Vlaanderen, Flanders, Belgium.
