KIK-IRPA used four modes of macro photography and infrared reflectography to research and document Hans Memling’s paintings.
Hans Memling is one of the great masters among the Early Netherlandish painters. To unravel his secrets, intensive research will take place in the coming years with the help of the latest technologies and renowned international partners, including the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA).
The newly launched website Closer to Memling' offers an immersive experience into the artistic world of Hans Memling. This innovative project, initiated by Musea Brugge, aims to highlight Memling's work through ultra-high-resolution images, enabling a detailed and intimate exploration of his creations. The website currently shows works from Musea Brugge's collection. Works by Memling kept in other institutions worldwide will soon be added.
