He found an audience, not among the nobility or clergy, but in the newly emerging urban middle class: bankers, financiers, politicians, and artisans. His work, therefore, reached a diverse community across Europe--in Castile, England, Genoa, Bologna and Florence. This book explores the social and material aspects of Memling's career and workshop as a window into Bruges's rise as an early modern commercial hub, rife with international trade, factional politics, artisanal guilds, devotional conflict, and a burgeoning middle-class clientele.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMitzi Kirkland-Ives\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of art history and visual culture at Missouri State University.
