{"product_id":"st-veronica-hans-memling","title":"St. Veronica - Hans Memling","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene depiction of Saint Veronica holding the sudarium, painted by the Early Netherlandish master Hans Memling in the 1470s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHans Memling, a master of the Early Netherlandish school, produced this depiction of Saint Veronica during the latter half of the fifteenth century. The work features the saint kneeling in a quiet, open field, holding the cloth that bears the miraculous image of Christ. Her expression is one of calm contemplation, rendered with the precise brushwork characteristic of Memling's output in Bruges. The saint wears a white wimple and a heavy blue mantle, which drapes across the foreground in deep, structured folds. Beneath this, a rose-coloured garment is visible, providing a subtle contrast to the cool tones of her outer cloak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background reveals a distant, fortified town set against a soft, pale sky. To the left, rocky outcrops provide a sense of geological texture, while the right side of the composition opens into a gentle, winding path leading towards a wooded area. The inclusion of these natural elements reflects the period's interest in combining devotional subjects with detailed, observable environments. The cloth itself, held taut by the saint, displays the face of Christ with a direct, frontal gaze that engages the viewer. Memling employs a balanced palette, using the blue of the mantle to anchor the composition against the lighter, atmospheric tones of the landscape. The painting demonstrates the artist's ability to synthesise spiritual narrative with a grounded, material reality. This piece is part of a broader tradition of Northern European devotional art, where the focus remains on clarity, technical precision, and the quiet dignity of the subject. The work is currently held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hans Memling","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416954147151,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416956309839,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416956342607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416956375375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416956408143,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416956440911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416956473679,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416956506447,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416956539215,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416956571983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416956604751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416956637519,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/St_Poster_CompositorV1_1786151484064.jpg?v=1786151831","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/st-veronica-hans-memling","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
