# Virgin and Child with St Anthony the Abbot and a Donor [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEMLING, Hans]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Oil on wood, 93 x 55 cm ## Commentary In 1472 Memling first dated two of his paintings. The way the dates are inscribed recalls the style of Jan van Eyck. The Standing Virgin and Child with donor and St Anthony in Ottawa has the date painted in white numerals on the rear wall of the room, as in Van Eyck's Arnolfini wedding portrait. The same date, now consisting of yellow metal figures in relief on a reddish-brown marbled frame, is painted in trompe-l'oeil on the Portrait of Gilles Joye in Williamstown. ## Related artworks - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Advent and Triumph of Christ \(detail\)]() - [Advent and Triumph of Christ \(detail\)]() - [Advent and Triumph of Christ]() - [Allegory with a Virgin]() - [Angel Musicians \(left panel\)]() - [Angel Musicians]() - [Angel with an Olive Branch, Emblem of Divine Peace]() - [Annunciation]() - [Bathsheba]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
