Triptych of Willem Moreel, left wing, the founder Willem Moreel, his sons and St. William of Maleval 1484

This is the left wing of a triptych depicting Willem Moreel, his sons, and the patron saint of Bruges, Saint William of Maleval, painted in 1484 by Hans Memling, a prominent painter from Bruges. The painting displays Memling’s characteristic attention to detail and realistic portrayal of figures. The family is depicted kneeling in prayer, with the saint behind them holding a flag. The rich colors, intricate details, and religious theme showcase the artistic excellence of the Northern Renaissance in Bruges, where Memling made his name. This piece is part of a larger triptych, now housed in the Groeningemuseum, Bruges, Belgium.
