The Reliquary of St. Ursula 1489

"The Reliquary of St. Ursula" was created in 1489 by the Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling. The reliquary is a three-dimensional, ornately decorated shrine that contains relics of Saint Ursula. The artwork depicts several scenes from the life of Saint Ursula, including her martyrdom, her journey to Rome, and her meeting with the Pope. The reliquary, now housed at the Memling Museum in Bruges, Belgium, is a fine example of Memling's ability to blend detailed realism with religious devotion, resulting in a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art.
