Dirk

Bouts


Bouts, Dirk (or Dieric) (1410s-1475). Netherlandish painter, born probably in Haarlem. A very little is actually known about Bouts' early life. He is first documented in Leuven in 1457 and worked there until his death in 1475. Bouts was among the first northern painters to demonstrate the use of a single vanishing point (as illustrated in his "Last Supper").
