Memling's Portraits

Via The New York Times- 20 of Hans Memling's (c. 1430 - 1494) paintings are on view at the Frick Collection, New York.

The NYT indicates that apart from contemporary paintersMemling's paintings were sweet, easy-does-it affairs, gentle, pacific; drowsy, even. If they have an intensity, it's the ungraspable intensity of blank beauty: individual figures are acutely defined; psychological exchange is absent.
