EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exterior of the Triptych of Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist, a masterpiece created by Hans Memling in 1474-79. The triptych, also known as the St. John Altarpiece or the Triptych of the High Altar, is housed in Sint-Janshospitaal in Bruges, Belgium. The image captures four members of a community, two brothers and two sisters, who are depicted on the shutters of this magnificent artwork. On the left shutter, we see Brother Anthony Seghers engrossed in reading a book while St. James the Great stands beside him dressed as a pilgrim. On the right shutter, Sister Agnes Casembrood tenderly holds a lamb while St. Clare gracefully presents a monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament. These individuals are portrayed with hands clasped together in prayerful gestures, symbolizing their devotion and reliance on their patron saints for protection and guidance. Memling's attention to detail is evident through his skillful rendering of each figure and their surroundings. The delicate brushstrokes bring life to every element within this composition - from clothing textures to facial expressions. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to fifteenth-century Flanders where religious art flourished under Memling's masterful hand. It serves as a reminder not only of his artistic prowess but also of our own connection to spirituality and faith that transcends time.
