"Virgin and Child with St Anthony the Abbot and a Donor" is a notable painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, a leading artist of the Bruges school during the late 15th century. This devotional panel painting, executed in oil on oak, dates from around 1470–1475 and is a fine example of Memling's mature work, showcasing his skill in rendering detail and his sensitivity to color and light.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child on her lap, with St Anthony the Abbot standing to her right. To the left of the composition, the donor, a pious individual who commissioned the artwork, is presented in a posture of devotion. The identities of many such donors have been lost over time, but their inclusion in religious paintings of this period was a common practice, reflecting their piety and their desire for spiritual intercession.

Memling's work is characterized by its serene and contemplative figures, set against a landscape or interior that is rich with symbolic elements. In "Virgin and Child with St Anthony the Abbot and a Donor," the figures are rendered with a delicate realism, and the artist's attention to the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of the human face is evident. The painting also reflects the influence of his mentor, Rogier van der Weyden, particularly in the composition and the emotional resonance of the figures.

The painting is a testament to the cultural and artistic climate of Bruges during the 15th century, a time when the city was a vibrant center of trade and the arts. Memling's works were highly sought after by patrons from across Europe, and his influence extended well beyond his lifetime.

Today, "Virgin and Child with St Anthony the Abbot and a Donor" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the devotional art that was central to the spiritual life of the period. The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance.
