"Christ Giving His Blessing" by Hans Memling

            1478, Oil on oak panel, 36.5 x 26.7 cm (14-3/8 x 10-1/2 in)

Christ Blessing one of Hans Memling's most captivating images, combining the formal qualities of a religious icon with the gentle humanity of his portraits. In form and feeling, it shares much with contemporary Italian portraiture in the search for clarity and order, in the monumental effect achieved by filling the frame with Christ's head and shoulders and in the close-up view of the delicately modeled face. Christ's gentle spirit and grace, presented in fully human terms, make this a compelling devotional image.
