Additional paintings unique to each venue have also been chosen to illuminate topics of particular relevance to Memling's work: the exchange of influences with contemporary portraiture from Italy and Germany (Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza); issues of patronage relating to donor portraits (Groeningemuseum); and the role of the workshop in artistic production (The Frick Collection).
