St. John Altarpiece left wing

The 'St. John Altarpiece left wing' is a masterful example of Northern renaissance Religious painting created by Hans Memling around 1479. This oil-on-oak hinged triptych was commissioned for the Old St. John's Hospital in Bruges, reflecting the period’s rich religious and artistic traditions. The left wing depicts saints and biblical scenes designed to inspire devotion. Signed and dated 1479, it exemplifies Memling's meticulous detail and harmonious composition. The work was originally part of an altarpiece Board, intended to adorn the hospital’s chapel, and it remains housed at the hospital’s Memling museum today.
