EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite detail of Hans Memling's masterpiece, "St Ursula Shrine, Departure from Basle". Painted in 1489, this artwork is housed within the Reliquary of St Ursula at the Memling Museum in Sint-Janshospitaal, Bruges. The scene depicted showcases a momentous event as a group of people gathers near a fortification on the shores of Basel. A majestic sailing boat awaits their departure, its mast towering against the vibrant blue sky. The artist's mastery is evident in every brushstroke, bringing to life the rich colors and intricate details that adorn both the buildings and boats. At its core, this artwork symbolizes Christian faith and devotion. St Ursula stands as an allegory for virtue and martyrdom while blessing her followers before their journey begins. The Roman Catholic influence is palpable throughout this piece, reflecting both religious beliefs and historical context. Memling's Flemish roots shine through his meticulous attention to detail and use of oil as an art medium. This print transports us back to 15th-century Switzerland with its depiction of city life by water transport. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded not only of Memling's artistic genius but also of the enduring power that religious art holds over our collective imagination.
