Claim: Paul Beneke (early 1400s (decade) – c. 1480) seized Hans Memling's triptych The Last Judgment commissioned or the chapel of a branch manager, and the owners objected to the seizure.
Evidence: Paul Beneke, also Paul Benecke, (early 1400s (decade) – c. 1480) was a German town councillor of Danzig and a privateer. Beneke seized, amongst other items, Hans Memling's triptych The Last Judgment. The painting had been commissioned for the chapel of a branch manager of the Medici Bank, Angelo Tani, and included a head portrait of Portinari. Not surprisingly, the owners objected to the seizure and the issue was taken up in the papal court.
