His works decorated churches and altars, hung in the homes of wealthy citizens and enchanted the nobility. He was known far beyond the borders of the country and his paintings were highly appreciated. They helped him to gain prestige and prosperity and to become very important in the Old Dutch painting of the 15th century. And yet Memling was almost forgotten in the centuries after his death. Only in the 19th century did Hans Memling and his painting experience a kind of rebirth. It was then, with a romantically transfigured view, when the city of Bruges, its medieval charm and its artists were rediscovered. The fiery enthusiasm that was felt for the Belgian city was also transferred to Memling, who suddenly became the epitome of Bruges painting again. And Hans Memling, who originally came from Germany, still experiences this appreciation today. His works hang in the world's most important museums, his bust is on display in the Hall of Fame Valhalla near Regensburg and even an asteroid was named after him.
Memling's early works are based on the art Jan van Eycks and Rogier van der Weydens. Above all, the similarity to the works of Rogier van der Weyden, one of the most important Dutch artists of his time, is an indication that Memling was perhaps even active as an assistant in his workshop. However, this assumption cannot be confirmed with certainty, since Hans Memling's early years and his artistic education are largely in the dark. Neither his exact date of birth is known, nor much is known about his family. He is first mentioned in a document when he became a citizen of Bruges and from this point on, his star as a painter also rises.

Hans Memling began to develop his own style from the given forms of a van Eyck or van der Weyden. He wanted to go new ways and replaced, for example, the angular and angular, which can be found in the paintings of his predecessors, by softness. Memling's paintings resemble narratives that captivate the viewer with their particular richness of detail and carry him off into their world. Thus he not only pays attention to the persons in the foreground and gives them individual features, but also shapes the background. The landscape or the architecture surrounding the figures is as important to him as the central motif. His figures appear gentle and graceful, have soul and radiate a cheerful serenity. Their naive charm is further emphasized by the rich colours. Memling's motifs are varied and his work is extensive: he created not only paintings with religious scenes, but also lifelike, bourgeois portraits and even a flower still life, which is considered the earliest of its kind. Memling designed altarpieces for churches and monasteries, but also pictures of saints or Madonnas, which were intended for private use.
