Scenes from the life of Mary 1480

Hans Memling's "Scenes from the life of Mary" (c. 1480) is a large oil-on-wood altarpiece depicting various scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary. The painting is characterized by a rich, luminous palette and detailed figures, typical of the Early Netherlandish style. The landscape, featuring a sprawling cityscape and rolling hills, provides a backdrop for the dramatic events, such as the Annunciation and the Assumption of Mary. Memling's meticulous attention to detail and harmonious composition highlight the spiritual significance of the scenes. The artwork is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
