The "Portrait of Maarten van Nieuwenhove" is a notable work by the German-born Flemish artist Hans Memling, painted in 1487. This diptych oil painting is a striking example of Northern Renaissance art, showcasing Memling's meticulous attention to detail and his skill in portraiture. The artwork features Maarten van Nieuwenhove, a young nobleman from Bruges, depicted in a richly adorned interior. He is shown on the right panel, dressed in a lavish black gown with a fur collar, gazing directly at the viewer, which was a common stylistic choice in personal portraiture of this era to suggest the subject's social status and self-awareness.

The left panel of the diptych presents the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, suggesting a devotional purpose for the painting, possibly intended for personal prayer and reflection. Both figures are set against a detailed background that includes a window revealing a distant landscape, adding depth and perspective to the scene. The panels are linked visually through the alignment of the horizon and the window ledge, and thematically through the juxtaposition of the sacred and the secular.

The "Portrait of Maarten van Nieuwenhove" is preserved in the Memlingmuseum, part of the Sint-Janshospitaal in Bruges, Belgium. This work is particularly celebrated for its intricate portrayal of contemporary fashion, interior design, and the serene yet expressive faces of the figures. It also provides valuable insights into the cultural and religious life of late 15th-century Bruges, reflecting the intertwined nature of daily and spiritual life during this period. The painting is not only a testament to Memling's artistic prowess but also an important cultural artifact, offering a window into the past and the sophisticated society of the Burgundian Netherlands.
