Review

"This illustrated appraisal of every one of Hans Memling's portraits illuminates the artist's extraordinary craftsmanship while exploring in depth the function of portraiture in the Netherlands during the fifteenth century." "Published to accompany a major touring exhibition, this catalogue provides a lavish overview of Memling's career, 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."--Jacket
