Hans Memling

Hans Memling was a leading Early Netherlandish painter active in Bruges during the later fifteenth century. His surviving work includes portraits and devotional paintings distinguished by careful detail and a composed, contemplative atmosphere.

Chalice of Saint John the Evangelist, dated about 1470–1475 by the National Gallery of Art, depicts a golden cup with a serpent. The small, symbolic subject brings a sense of stillness and mystery to Old Town Magick’s notebook collection.
