A large stained glass panel with the Presentation in the Temple after Hans Memling (fl. Flanders, 1430-1494), probably Flemish, the shaped rectangular panel depicting the Christ Child held by surrounding standing Saints, in an ecclesiastical setting with a chequered pavement and an altar, 102cm high 63cm wideThe present panel reproduces the right wing scene of Northern-Renaissance master Hans Memling's celebrated Jan Floreins triptych. Floreins, for whom the triptych was painted in 1479, was a friar of the Old St John's Hospital in Bruges, where the triptych still hangs to this day (now the collection of the Memling Museum). This Presentation scene is thought to have been set within the architecture of the former Cathedral of St Donatian. Memling's works provided source material for Netherlandish stained glass artists as early as the 16th century, note for example the Netherlandish or German roundel depicting the artists' Adoration of the Magi in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cloisters Collection, 1983.235.
