Hans Memling

Japanese: メムリンク - めむりんく(英語表記)Hans Memling
Hans Memling

Flemish painter. Born in Seligenstadt, Germany, he died in Bruges. He is said to have settled there after 1465. He is believed to have been influenced by the Cologne School in his early years, but later he followed the style of 15th century Flemish painters, especially Weiden, Bouts, and Goos, and synthesized them without adding any new elements. He had a great sense of harmony and order, and although he lacked dramatic tension or sharp characterization, he created paintings full of spirituality and poetry with warm colors and perfected technique. Many of his works are portraits, but he created a new idea of ​​placing fragments of landscapes in the background, which is thought to be due to the influence of Italian painting. His representative works include the altarpiece "Last Judgment" in the Church of Our Lady in Gdańsk, "Mystical Marriage of St. Catherine" and "Reliquary of St. Ursula" in the Memling Museum in the Hospital of St. John in Bruges, and "Statue of St. Benedict" in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

フランドルの画家。ドイツのゼーリゲンシュタットに生まれ、ブリュッヘで没した。同地に定住したのは1465年以降とされる。初期にはケルン派の影響を受けたと推定されるが、のち15世紀フランドルの画家たち、とくにワイデン、ボウツ、グースの画風を継ぎ、とくに新要素を加えることなくこれを総合した。彼は調和と秩序の感覚に優れ、劇的な緊張や鋭い性格描写には欠けるが、温かい色調と完成された技術で精神性と詩情あふれる画面をつくりだした。人物・肖像画の作品が多いが、それらの背景に風景の断片を配置しているのは彼の新趣向で、これはイタリア絵画の影響によるものと推測されている。代表作にはグダニスクの聖母教会の祭壇画『最後の審判』、ブリュッヘの聖ヨハネ病院内メムリンク美術館の『聖カタリナの神秘の婚姻』『聖ウルスラの聖遺物箱』、フィレンツェのウフィツィ美術館の『聖ベネディクト像』がある。
