At the end of the series of black portraits you bump into a real Memling again, and what a. A statue of a nobleman from the Spanish noble family de Rojas. The panel was only donated to Musea Brugge by an American patron last week.
A coincidental chance that it immediately gets a place in this exhibition, says director Till-Holger Borchert. He points out that his contact with contemporary artists gave him a different view of Memling himself. This also applies to the visitor. The new work makes you wander around the museum and (re-) discover the Memlings and other paintings.
