The "St John Altarpiece (left wing) 2" is a significant work by the Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, who was active during the latter half of the 15th century. Memling, a German-born artist who settled in Bruges, is renowned for his detailed and delicate approach to religious and portrait painting, which exemplifies the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance style in Northern Europe.

The altarpiece, created around 1479, is part of a larger triptych commissioned for the Old St. John's Hospital in Bruges, one of the oldest surviving hospital buildings in Europe. The left wing of the altarpiece, often referred to as "St John Altarpiece (left wing) 2," depicts scenes from the life of St. John the Baptist, a central figure in Christian iconography. This panel is notable for its intricate detail, vibrant color palette, and the serene yet expressive figures that are characteristic of Memling's work.

In this panel, Memling masterfully combines narrative and symbolism, presenting the viewer with a rich tapestry of religious storytelling. The composition is carefully balanced, with a keen attention to architectural elements and landscape, which serve to enhance the narrative without overwhelming it. The figures are rendered with a lifelike quality, their expressions and gestures conveying a deep sense of piety and devotion.

Memling's use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to detail, reflect the influence of his predecessors, such as Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden, while also showcasing his unique artistic vision. The altarpiece not only served a devotional purpose but also functioned as a testament to the skill and piety of its patrons.

Today, the "St John Altarpiece (left wing) 2" remains an important example of Memling's work and is studied for its artistic and historical significance. It continues to be admired for its beauty and the technical prowess of its creator, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 15th-century Bruges.
