EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Marie, daughter of Willem Moreel" is a masterpiece created by the renowned artist Hans Memling in 1480. The subject of this painting is believed to be Sibylla Sambetha, as attempts to associate Mary Moreel have been dismissed due to her young age at that time. Willem Moreel, a prominent figure in Bruges during the 15th century, served as mayor, banker, and patron. He was blessed with five sons and eleven daughters. This exquisite oil on oak panel showcases his beloved daughter Marie. Marie's expression exudes elegance and poise as she gazes away from the viewer. Her hands are delicately clasped together while adorned with intricate jewelry including a finger ring and necklace. A headdress known as hennin adds an air of sophistication to her attire. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every feature is meticulously captured - from Marie's pale complexion contrasting against her vibrant red clothing to the fine texture of her veil. The inscription on the frame further enhances its historical significance. Hans Memling's skillful use of light and shadow brings out the wealth and status associated with Marie's family. This portrait exemplifies Northern Renaissance artistry at its finest. As we admire this print today, we are transported back in time to witness not only a beautiful representation but also gain insight into the lives of influential individuals who shaped history during this period in Flanders.
