Artist: Hans Memling - Title: Christ Presented to the People - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 20 inches x 9 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Hans Memling (c. 1430 - 11 August 1494) was a painter active in Flanders, who worked in the tradition of Early Netherlandish painting. He was born in the Middle Rhine region, and probably spent his childhood in Mainz. He moved to the Netherlands and spent time in the Brussels workshop of Rogier van der Weyden. He was subsequently made a citizen of Bruges in 1465, where he became one of the leading artists, running a large workshop, which painted religious works that often incorporated donor portraits of his wealthy patrons. Memling's patrons included burghers (bankers, merchants, and politicians), clergymen, and aristocrats.
