Hans Memling
(c.1430/40-1494)
Biography
Hans Memling (Memlinc or Hemling) – Flemish artist of German origin, active in the Netherlands in the second half of the XV century. Hans Memling was born around 1430-1440 in Seligenstadt in the Main region. Little is known about his training and early work. Perhaps he was trained in Cologne. Already in 1465, he was mentioned in Brussels, and from 1466 he worked in Bruges. Many art historians agree that he was most probably a late pupil of Rogier van der Weyden; in any case, the latter’s influence is noticeable in Memling’s earliest authenticated works, although in some works he surpassed his probable teacher.
