Hans Memling
Portrait of Tommaso Portinari
From $80
This painting is warm browns and soft skin tones on a near-black ground, and a cheap copy turns it flat and muddy. Our Memling Old Man print is made from the museum’s own photograph, nothing repainted, so every wrinkle and grey hair stays sharp.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
12x18 inch, 20x30 inch, 24x36 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its upright shape suits a study, a library or a hallway. The browns look warm with cream, rust and walnut, and a dark wood or gold frame suits it.
About the painting
Portrait of an Old Man by Hans Memling
Up close
The old man’s face fills almost the whole panel. His hand rests on a ledge that seems to be part of the frame, a trick Memling liked. The wrinkles, hair and skin are painted with great care.
A missing wife
In size it pairs with Memling’s Portrait of an Old Woman, now in Houston. Both panels were later cut down on all four sides, so no one knows whether they began as one picture or two.
Once called van Eyck
In the early 1900s some gave it to Jan van Eyck. The care in the flesh and hands is now seen as Memling’s own. Benjamin Altman gave it to the Met in 1913.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
