Hans Memling's "Head of Christ," painted in 1480, is a small-scale oil painting that depicts a close-up view of Jesus Christ's face. Memling, a master of Northern Renaissance art, uses meticulous detail and delicate brushstrokes to capture Christ's serene and contemplative expression. The artwork's intimate scale and devotional subject matter suggest that it was likely intended for private contemplation and personal devotion. This piece is now in the collection of The Hyde Collection, a museum in Glens Falls, New York.
