EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Maarten van Nieuwenhove, painted by the renowned artist Hans Memling in 1487. The painting is part of a larger masterpiece called "The Diptych of Maerten van Nieuwenhove" which can be found at the Memling Museum in Bruges, Belgium. In this intimate portrayal, we see a man immersed in his religious devotion. With hands clasped together and eyes closed, he engages in fervent prayer. His brown hair frames his face as he bows his head reverently towards a Bible resting before him. The atmosphere is enhanced by the soft glow emanating from stained glass windows that cast vibrant hues across the room. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the deep spirituality and piety prevalent during the fifteenth century. It offers us an insight into one man's personal connection with Christianity and serves as a testament to faith's enduring power throughout history. Published in 1911 as part of Haldane MacFall's comprehensive volume on painting history, this print allows us to appreciate Memling's masterful technique and attention to detail even today. As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are transported back centuries ago when art was used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a means to explore profound human experiences such as worship and introspection.
