Otto Scholderer (German Painter, 1834-1902) Cutting Flowers for an Arrangement
Madonnas attributed to Hans Memling (German-born Flemish painter, 1435-1494)
Born in Seligenstadt, near Frankfurt in the Middle Rhein region, it is speculated that Memling may have served his apprenticeship at Mainz or Cologne, and may have later worked in the Netherlands under Rogier van der Weyden (c. 1455-1460). At any rate, he seems to follow a well-trodden path. He appears in the records of Bruges around 1466. Many of Memling's well-known religious works were painted for the Hospital of St. John in Brugge. These include Adoration of the Magi & 6 panels depicting St. Ursula's journey to Rome, which he painted for the hospital's shrine to that saint.

In this blog, I try to begin each day with a painting of the Madonna & Child. It centers me; connects me to the past; & encourages me to post some of the religious paintings which were a large part of the core of early Western art. In the 4C, as the Christian population was rapidly growing & was now supported by the state, Christian art evolved & became grander to suit new, enlarged public spaces & the changing contemporary tastes of elite private clients.
