Lecture 1 - Bruges in the Time of Van Eyck & Memling
About This Webinar
In its fifteenth-century heyday, Bruges was the greatest trading centre in northern Europe, a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, favoured by the Burgundian rulers of Flanders and foreign merchants alike. Artists, notably Jan van Eyck and Hans Memling, settled there, attracted by the city’s wealth and potential for patronage. This lecture evokes the Bruges of their day, through the paintings they made for its churches and citizens, and its much-loved surviving buildings and waterways.
