St. Ursula Shrine: Medallions 1489

"St. Ursula Shrine: Medallions" is a 1489 painting by Hans Memling that depicts the Holy Trinity. It is part of a larger shrine dedicated to St. Ursula, a Christian martyr, housed at the Memling Museum (formerly the Old St. John's Hospital) in Bruges, Belgium. The painting features a central medallion with God the Father, the Virgin Mary, and the Holy Spirit depicted in a traditional iconography. Flanking this central medallion are two roundels depicting angels playing musical instruments, a common motif in religious art of the period. The entire composition is set against a background of ornate Gothic tracery, reflecting the style of the time.
