"St Ursula Shrine - Arrival in Basle (scene 2)" is a renowned work of art by Northern Renaissance painter Hans Memling, completed in 1489. This painting is part of a series of scenes depicted on the Reliquary of St. Ursula, originally commissioned by the Hospital of St. John in Bruges, home to a relic of the Saint.

Depicted in exquisite detail and representative of Memling's mastery of color, the painting features the arrival of the Saint and her entourage in Basle, Switzerland. The narrative unfolds from the perspective of a high vantage point overlooking the city, where Ursula's ship can be seen approaching the shoreline. Of particular note is the meticulously rendered architecture of the cityscape, likely based on sketches of Bruges, and richly dressed figures, each hinting at Memling's remarkable skills in capturing individual characters.

Painted on oak panels with oil, each scene on the shrine represents an episode from the legend of St. Ursula. This specific event is part of an elaborate hagiographic story, recounting Ursula's pilgrimage to Rome with 11,000 virgins in the year 383 AD. Following their visit to the Pope, on their way home, they stopped at Basle, which is the incident depicted in this scene.

With its decorative and narrative brilliance, "St Ursula Shrine - Arrival in Basle (scene 2)" speaks volumes about the cultural and artistic vitality of the Late Middle Ages in the Flemish region, as well as its religious sentiment. As such, it holds significant historical and cultural weight.
