Christ, Salvator Mundi
Salvator Mundi by Workshop of Hans Memling, oil on wood, 1475-99. Christ is shown here as the Savior of the World (Salvator Mundi), holding in his left hand a cross-topped globe representing the earth, while his right hand is raised in blessing. This was a popular type of image in 15th century Netherlandish painting and merged the themes of the Holy Face (Christ's features miraculously imprinted on a cloth) and Christ in Majesty. The landscape and circular format are similar to Memling's Virgin and Child, shown nearby, but the work seems to be by a workshop assistant.
