Memling was a superb portrait painter, absolute protagonist of the Flemish Renaissance, and this very fine "Compianto" belongs to his maturity. On the right the donor is kneeling, a character not identified to date, who had to commission the painting. Variously dated in the eighth / ninth decade of the fifteenth century, the work on oak wood is very well preserved.
