Painting by Hans Memling
Advent and Triumph of Christ by Hans Memling , 1480, Alte Pinakothek , Munich. 81 × 189 cm.
Advent and Triumph of Christ is an oil painting on a panel of wood, painted c.1480 by German-born Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling . It was made for the altar of the Tanners' guild in Our Lady's Church in Bruges , but is now held by the Alte Pinakothek in Munich .
The painting shows 25 episodes from the Life of Christ (although some have interpreted it as a version of the Seven Joys of the Virgin ) combined in one narrative composition without a central dominating scene: including the Annunciation ; the Annunciation to the shepherds ; the Nativity ; the Massacre of the Innocents ; the Adoration of the Magi ; the Passion ; the Resurrection ; the Ascension ; Pentecost ; the Dormition and Assumption of Mary .
A similar narrative style was employed by Memling for his earlier Scenes from the Passion of Christ (c.1470), commissioned by Tommaso Portinari and now held by the Galleria Sabauda , in Turin .
