Portrait of an Old Woman is a small oil on wood panel painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, completed c 1475–1480, and in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas, since 1944. The panel has obviously been cut down, given its tight framing. The woman's face and headdress dominate the remaining pictorial space; they create a strong contrast between her cream headgear and the black background and the lower portion of the painting, which was originally bluish-green, but has darkened with age and accumulated dirt.

The Benedetto Portinari Triptych is a group of three 1487 oil on panel paintings by Hans Memling. It is named after its commissioner, who is probably the subject of its right-hand panel, now in the Uffizi in Florence. The left panel of Saint Benedict (Portinari's name-saint) and the central panel of the Madonna and Child are both now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

The Exposition des primitifs flamands à Bruges (Exhibition of Flemish Primitives at Bruges) was an art exhibition of paintings by the so-called Flemish Primitives (nowadays usually called Early Netherlandish painters) held in the Provinciaal Hof in Bruges between 15 June and 5 October 1902. It was the largest exhibition of 15th- and 16th-century Flemish art to date, consisted of 413 official catalogue entries, and drew some 35,000 visitors. The exposition was highly influential, leading to at least five contemporary books as well as numerous scholarly articles, and initiated deeper study of the Flemish Primitives by a new generation of connoisseurs.
