The artwork, titled “St. Ursula Shrine: Medallions,” was created by Hans Memling in 1489. It belongs to the Northern Renaissance art movement and is a religious painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 87 x 91 cm. Currently, it is housed in the Memling Museum at the Old St. John’s Hospital in Bruges, Belgium.
The artwork is an intricately designed and ornate gothic shrine, capturing the viewer’s attention with its regal structure and detailed craftsmanship. The facade features a series of narrative panels depicting scenes from the life of St. Ursula and her companions. Vibrant colors and precise detailing exemplify Memling’s Northern Renaissance style. The top section of the shrine is adorned with medallions, likely illustrating various saints, and the entire piece is enclosed in a beautifully carved architectural framework, emphasizing a sense of reverence and devotion.
