Hans Memling (Temporis Series)
 Price: $34.47 DescriptionPresented as a minor artist for many years, Memling (c. 1433-1494) was not a court painter but a painter of the bourgeoisie. Forgotten during the seventeenth centuries, Memling is today considered one of the greatest fifteenth-century Northern European painters, thanks to the perfect balance between realism and concern for idealisation in his portraits. His compositions, frequently diptychs, triptychs or alterpieces, display a virtuosity comparable to that of Van Eyck. His taste for detail and precise drawing as well as his technical mastery and sense of composition are brought together perfectly in such magnificent works as The Last Judgement, The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine and The Seven Joys of the Virgin. Using the most representative paintings of Memling's oeuvre, this work highlights, through the finesse of his subjects' faces and the sobriety of their poses imposed by the canons of the time, the complex virtuosity of this important artist.
Hans Memling, Master Painter in Fifteenth-Century Bruges (Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History)
 List Price: Price: $203.00 DescriptionHans Memling was the leading painter in Bruges during the last quarter of the fifteenth century, receiving commissions from patrons in England, Gernmany and Italy as well as Flanders itself. For the Romantics of the nineteenth century, he ranked even above Jan van Eyck as the greatest of the Flemish primitives. By the middle of the twentieth century, however, his exalted reputation had declined sharply under the shadow of his presumed teacher, Rogier van der Weyden. In 1953, Panofsky labelled Memling a "major minor master", leading subsequent writers to consider him unworthy of serious study. It was only in 1994, the five-hundreth anniversary of his death, that the major exhibition on Memling in Bruges launched a veritable flood of publications on his life and work, finally granting him the recognition he deserves. This book contributes to the ongoing reappraisal of Memling by addressing some of the tantalizing problems that remain unresolved despite much recent study of his work. Beginning with the question of his training, the text follows him on his Wanderjahre from his native Germany to Bruges, where he became a citizen in 1465. It then considers his activities as a master painter in Bruges, concentrating on the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, including the work of such major artists as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.
Memling's Portraits
 List Price: Price: $75.71 DescriptionA thorough and sumptuously illustrated appraisal of every one of Hans Memling's portraits.Published to accompany a major international touring exhibition, this catalogue provides a lavish overview of Memling's successful career in portraiture, with a selection of some thirty portraits by the master and his school, including portrait-wings from diptychs and triptychs along with autonomous panels of individual patrons. Each of the three venues—the Museo Thyssen- Bornemisza, Madrid, the Groeningemuseum, Bruges, and The Frick Collection, New York—has contributed paintings unique to its collection, and all the works are reproduced here. The selection illustrates topics of particular relevance to Memling's work: the exchange of influences with contemporary portraiture from Italy to Germany; issues of patronage relating to donor-portraits; and the role of the workshop in artistic production. Four essays by Till-Holger Borchert, Lorne Campbell, Paula Nuttal, and Maryan Ainsworth introduce the book's superb reproductions, which are accompanied by detailed captions that shed new light on Memling's techniques and aims. 170 illustrations, 120 in color.
