Virgin and Child Enthroned with Two Angels

The painting titled Virgin and Child Enthroned with Two Angels exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of Hans Memling, a master of the Northern renaissance. Created around 1479 as part of the St John Altarpiece, this religious painting features the Madonna and Child seated on a lavish throne, accompanied by two angels. Crafted in oak and executed in oil paints, it demonstrates the meticulous detail and vibrant coloration typical of Memling's style. The artwork, originally commissioned for Bruges' Old St. John's Hospital, remains in its original location at the Memling museum today.
