The St John Altarpiece (right wing) is a significant work of art created by the renowned Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling between 1474 and 1479. This altarpiece is part of a larger triptych commissioned for the Old St. John's Hospital in Bruges, Belgium, which was one of the oldest hospitals in Europe, founded in the mid-12th century. The altarpiece as a whole is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist, reflecting the hospital's dedication to these saints.

Hans Memling, a German-born artist who settled in Bruges, was one of the leading painters of his time, known for his detailed and delicate style, which combined the precision of the Northern Renaissance with a serene and contemplative quality. The right wing of the St John Altarpiece specifically depicts scenes from the life of St. John the Evangelist. This panel is characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the serene, almost ethereal quality of its figures.

The right wing features several episodes from the life of St. John the Evangelist, including his vision of the Apocalypse on the island of Patmos. Memling's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lush landscapes, the intricate architectural elements, and the expressive faces of the figures. The use of light and shadow, as well as the rich, jewel-like colors, create a sense of depth and realism that draws the viewer into the narrative.

Memling's work on the St John Altarpiece is notable not only for its artistic excellence but also for its devotional purpose. The altarpiece was intended to inspire and comfort the patients and staff of the hospital, providing a visual representation of the saints' intercession and the promise of salvation. Today, the St John Altarpiece remains a masterpiece of Early Netherlandish painting and a testament to Hans Memling's skill and devotion as an artist.
