The Religious painting titled Altar of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, created by Hans Memling around 1479, is a notable example of Northern renaissance art. This large wood triptych, crafted as an oil-painted altarpiece, was commissioned for Bruges' Old St. John's Hospital during the construction of a new apse. Signed and dated 1479, it exemplifies Memling’s masterful use of oil techniques and intricate detail. Today, it remains housed at the hospital's Memling museum, continuing to inspire with its religious imagery and craftsmanship.
