Portrait of Dieric Bouts

Kingdom of the Netherlands, 1415–1475

Dieric Bouts was a Kingdom of the Netherlands Northern Renaissance painter. 29 works are cataloged here, principally at Museo del Prado, most of them oil paintings. Dieric Bouts was born in Haarlem.

Dieric Bouts (born c. 1415 – 6 May 1475) was an Early Netherlandish painter. Bouts may have studied under Rogier van der Weyden, and his work was influenced by van der Weyden and Jan van Eyck. He worked in Leuven from 1457 (or possibly earlier) until his death in 1475.

His name also appears at various museums and institutions as Dirk Bouts. Bouts was among the first northern painters to demonstrate the use of a single vanishing point (as illustrated in his Last Supper).
