Aelbrecht Bouts

Aelbrecht Bouts (c.1452 - March 1549) was a Flemish painter of the Early Netherlandish era.

He was born into a family of painters in Leuven.

Dieric Bouts the Younger inherited his father’s shop in 1475, while Aelbrecht established his own workshop, also in Leuven.

Whereas Dieric the Younger continued in his father's style, Aelbrecht developed his own unmistakable style with strong colors, rich texture and fine details.
