| | The Frick Collection: Exhibitions: Memling's Portraits |
 | | Organized by the Frick in collaboration with the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, and the Groeningemuseum, Bruges, the exhibition provides an overview of Memling's successful career in portraiture, with a selection of approximately thirty portraits by the master and his school, including portrait wings from diptychs and triptychs along with autonomous panels of individual patrons. |
 | | 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). |
 | | Memling's Portraits made its debut at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, in February 2005, then traveled to the Groeningemuseum, Bruges, in June 2005, before its presentation at The Frick Collection in October 2005, the final venue of the tour. |
