Description of the Scene Depicted
Scenes from the Life of Maryshows 25 episodes from the Life of Christ, including the Annunciation, Nativity, Adoration of the Magi, and Crucifixion. The painting is divided into three horizontal registers, with each register containing eight scenes. The top register depicts events leading up to Christ's birth, the middle register shows his life and ministry, and the bottom register illustrates his Passion and Resurrection. The painting is notable for its complex narrative structure and panoramic landscape. Memling used a continuous narrative style, where each scene flows seamlessly into the next, creating a sense of movement and progression. The landscape serves as a backdrop to the narrative, providing a sense of place and context.
