They had Memling paint their portraits, bust or full length, in devotional paintings or on altarpieces for their chapel in Bruges or back home. He seems not to have received official commissions (from the town council or court). An exceptional proportion of this oeuvre has survived. Besides about 20 altarpieces, often in several panels and of considerable size,   Related Paintings of MEMLING, Hans :. | Portrait of an Old Woman sh | The Presentation in the Temple ag | Scenes from the Passion of Christ (detail) sg | Tommaso Portinari and his Wife wh | The Presentation in the Temple (detail sg |
