Antonella da Messina was the Neapolitan painter who brought the practice of painting in oils from the Netherlands into Italy, though it is now believed, from stubborn discrepancies in dates, that the story of his great friendship with Jan Van Eyck, as given by Vasari, is apochryphal. Very likely Hans Memling, called also 'John of Bruges, was the real friend and leader of Antonella.
John, from the visit to Memling, but Jeanne had been so sad! Still she would have spoken had Carlino not come in. And now while they had been walking she had not known how to parry Jeanne's questions.
"Yes, with pleasure," answered Noemi. "Where did you go with my brother?" "To the Hospital of St. John, to call on Memling." "That's all right; let us talk about Memling. But first tell me whether Carlino made you a declaration?" The girl laughed. "Yes, he made me a declaration of war, and I did likewise to he." "To him, you should say.
He had come abroad to enjoy the Flemish painters and all others, but what fair-tressed saint of Van Eyck or Memling was so interesting a figure as the lonely lady of Saint-Germain? His restless steps carried him at last out of the long villa-bordered avenue which leads to the Bois de Boulogne.
They represent the side of Memling's art which might be compared to the illuminators of manuscripts or to the artificers in gold and precious stones. There is a jewelled quality in this illustration of the pious life and martyrdom of St. Ursula at Cologne. But it is not the greatest Memling, to our thinking.
Severin; hang on the walls the pictures of Fra Angelico, Memling, Grünewald, Gerard David, Roger van den Weyden, Bouts; add to these, admirable sculptures such as those of the great door of Chartres, altar screens of sculptured wood, such as those of the Cathedral of Amiens, what a dream!" "Yet," he went on after a silence, "this dream has been a reality, it is evident.
He was a pupil of a little known artist, Cornelis Engelbrechstein, who was a follower if not a pupil of Memling. Lucas was an artist of multifarious powers and very early development. He painted admirably though his authenticated works are very scarce drew, and engraved. He pursued the path of realism in the treatment of sacred subjects, but with less beauty or elevation of mind.
Then the Van Eycks, Hubert and Jan, Rogier van der Weyden, Hugo van der Goes, Hans Memling, Quentin Massys, Lucas van Leyden, the two Hans Holbein, elder and younger, Burgkmair, Wolgemut, and then, master of them all, Albrecht Dürer.
"Here was this Hans Memling with me to-day; he is going to Italy, girl, no later than next week, 'to improve his hand, he says. Not before 'twas needed, I do assure you." "But how is he to find my Gerard?" "Why, he knows your Gerard, child. They have supped here more than once, and were like hand and glove.
His drawing is correct beyond reproach a little stiff, like the early painters. You can guess from his works his partiality for the old masters Perugino, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Memling, Holbein who, though not the masters in fashion, will always be masters in vigor of outline, directness, in simple grace, and genuine feeling.
