OMM painting, who did it?

[Ka-Spel]

Greetings,  
Can someone help me with a question?   I would like to know what painting Lucas use in the film of OMM.  I know it must be a classical-renaissance-gothic painting but I donâ??t know by whom.

Iâ??m fairly knowledgeable about ART (since I went to Art school) , but I just cant find this image anywhere.

Thank you,
Ka-Spel

I got to see the early DVD release.  Walter Murch gives the artists name in the commentary track.  I forget, though.
If I remember correctly, it is a genuine old painting.

He says its Lucas Cranach. (I think)

The thing is, there is 2 Lucas Cranach's. The Elder, and The Younger.

But, as I looked around, I could not find any image even close to the one in THX-1138. So either he made a mistake, and credited the wrong artist, or I just couldnt find it

On a side note, I onced had a site bookmarked, which specifically spoke of this painting. I bookmarked it because it was about THX-1138 and the painting. But I lost that bookmark

Ok, so I think I found out who it really is.

Hans MEMLING

The title of the painting is called:

Christ Giving His Blessing

Here is a link to a picture:

**UPDATE**

It also could be this painting:

Its by the same artist.

Man oh Man, Thanks for finding that info out.  When i heard the commentary that it was Lucas Cranach i did a search to and found both Elder and younger and i just knew that it wasnt them,  seem weird that he WM got it wrong- but anyhoo...

Thank you SMH1982javascript:emoticon('')
Very Happy  i'm am so pleased with this information.  i believe that the image that was used was :   http://gallery.euroweb.hu/art/m/memling/2middle1/10bless.jpg

the reason that i think this is it, is in the right eyebrow (our right, wip'n boys' left, he he)javascript:emoticon(':twisted:')

There is a image in balck & white somewere (on this site ?) of Donald Pleasence feeding a biscut to OMM.

as OMM says:
Blessings of the State. Blessings of the masses. Thou art a subject of the divine. Created in the image of man, by the masses, for the masses.

This image is in  Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena CA.  it pretty clear that this one is from the film.

Thought this might be a final nail to prove this is indeed the painting. This pic is from his student version:
