The "St John Altarpiece (detail) 6" is a segment of the larger triptych known as the St John Altarpiece, created by the renowned Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling. Memling, who was active during the latter half of the 15th century, is celebrated for his detailed and emotive religious compositions. The St John Altarpiece, completed around 1479, is one of his most significant works and is housed in the Memling Museum at the Old St. John's Hospital in Bruges, Belgium.

The altarpiece was commissioned by the hospital's administrators and is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist, reflecting the hospital's dedication to these saints. The triptych format, consisting of a central panel and two wings, was a popular structure for altarpieces during this period, allowing for a narrative sequence that could be viewed both in its entirety and in parts.

Memling's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this segment, showcasing his mastery in rendering textures, fabrics, and the human form. The figures are imbued with a serene spirituality, characteristic of Memling's style, which combines the influence of his predecessors like Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden with his unique vision.

The altarpiece as a whole is a testament to Memling's skill in integrating complex iconography with a harmonious composition. Each panel of the triptych contributes to a cohesive narrative that illustrates scenes from the lives of the two saints, interwoven with symbolic elements that would have been readily understood by contemporary viewers.
