The "Diptych of Maarten Nieuwenhove" is a notable work of art created by the Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling in 1487. This diptych is a prime example of Memling's skill in portraiture and religious iconography, reflecting the intricate detail and rich symbolism characteristic of Northern Renaissance art. The diptych consists of two panels: one depicting the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and the other portraying Maarten van Nieuwenhove, a young Bruges patrician who commissioned the work.

The left panel features the Virgin Mary seated in an ornate interior, holding the Christ Child on her lap. The background is meticulously detailed, showcasing a domestic setting with a window that opens to a lush landscape, a common feature in Memling's work that adds depth and realism. The Virgin's serene expression and the tender interaction between mother and child are rendered with exquisite precision, highlighting Memling's ability to convey emotion and divinity.

On the right panel, Maarten van Nieuwenhove is depicted in a three-quarter view, hands clasped in prayer. His youthful face is rendered with lifelike detail, capturing his contemplative and devout nature. The background of this panel mirrors the setting of the Virgin and Child, creating a cohesive and harmonious composition that links the two panels both thematically and visually. The inclusion of a coat of arms and an inscription identifying Maarten van Nieuwenhove further personalizes the portrait, emphasizing his status and piety.

The diptych is celebrated for its intricate detail, use of light, and the harmonious integration of the sacred and the secular. It serves as a testament to Memling's mastery in blending portraiture with devotional imagery, making it a significant piece in the study of Northern Renaissance art. The "Diptych of Maarten Nieuwenhove" is currently housed in the Old St. John's Hospital in Bruges, Belgium, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
