Description

Dieric Bouts: Creator of Images presents a fresh perspective on one of the most important Flemish Masters. This innovative exhibition catalog explores how Bouts' career was influenced by his cultural and political environment, shedding new light on his role as a maker of images. The book delves into Bouts' oeuvre alongside that of contemporary filmmakers, game creators, and sports photographers, revealing his mastery of composition, technical precision, and spiritual messaging. Luminous reproductions and photographs of Bouts' most important paintings and altarpieces are featured, including The Last Supper, The Triptych of the Descent from the Cross, and Christ Crowned with Thorns. With new perspectives informed by the latest research, this volume offers a refreshing and authoritative look at a painter who lived half a millennium ago.
