| Abstract | Hans Memling's Last Judgement has been in the National Museum in Gdańsk since 1956, when it returned from the USSR. Previously, however, it was located in St Mary's Church in Gdańsk for several centuries from 1473, when it was seized by Paul Beneke, along with other expensive valuables from the galley 'St Andrew / St Matthew'. The Tsar of Russia, Peter I, wanted it for himself, in turn, Emperor Napoleon took it to the Louvre. In the 19th century, when recognised as the work of Hans Memling, numerous studies on it began to appear. This round table discussion brings together scholars working in an interdisciplinary group. Returning to general questions, the participants will point to new interpretative contexts of this triptych. Participants include Friedrich Jacek (Uniwersytet Gdański), Jerzy Jankau (Gdański Uniwersytet Medyczny), Joanna Kamień (Uniwersytet Gdański), Aleksandra Stanek (Uniwersytet Gdański), Andrzej Woziński (Uniwersytet Gdański), and Kamil Zeidler (Uniwersytet Gdański). |
