HANS MEMLING. Virgin and Child with Saints Catherine of Alexandria and Barbara

Virgin and Child with Saints Catherine of Alexandria and Barbara. Artist: Hans Memling (Netherlandish, Seligenstadt, active by 1465-died 1494 Bruges). Dimensions: Overall 26 7/8 x 28 7/8 in. (68.3 x 73.3 cm); painted surface 26 3/8 x 28 3/8 in. (67 x 72.1 cm). Date: early 1480s.
The picture's harmonious composition was adapted from a large, celebrated altarpiece Hans Memling completed in 1479 for the Sint-Janshospitaal in Bruges. This smaller, more modest version was commissioned by an anonymous donor who kneels at the left. He is shown reciting his rosary as he contemplates Saint Catherine's mystic marriage to the infant Jesus. Saint Barbara, whose attribute--the tower--is behind her, sets a meditative example by reading. The grape arbor above the Virgin's throne and canopy was most likely added shortly after Memling's lifetime, in the early sixteenth century, when the cult of the Eucharist became increasingly popular.
