Aelbrecht Bouts

Aelbert Bouts, also Aelbrecht Bouts, (* 1451-1454 probably in Leuven, in Leuven † 1549) was a Dutch painter.

Aelbert Bouts was the younger son of the painter Dieric Bouts the Elder. and brother of the also active as a painter Dieric Bouts the Younger, he received his first training may be with the Father, but is today largely assumed that he was also taught by another painter outside of Louvain. After completing his training, he returned no later than 1476 back to Louvain, where he first married Mary Coocx 1481 and 1491 Elisabeth Nausnyders. In 1524 he is documented as one of the leaders of the cloth makers guild.

Most of his creative life he must have spent in Leuven, where he worked for numerous churches. One of these works was located today in Brussels " Mary 's Assumption triptych", which provides the only secure handwritten work and was the basis for all further write-ups. Before the discovery of the sources, identify the Aelbert Bouts as the creator of this work, it was assigned an anonymous painter with the Notnamen master of Assumption of the Virgin.

Aelbert Bouts paintings are stylistically close to those of his father, but seem a bit old-fashioned compared to its work. At the same time his works also show the influence of Hugo van der Goes, leading some researchers to believe to see in this a possible second teacher Aelberts. He often repeated compositions of his father, without reaching its quality. To his most popular topic among diptychs with the representations " Christ as Man of Sorrows " and Mary as "Mater Dolorosa ". Together with his brother he completed in 1475 after several unfinished left behind his father's work. He later received several more times the order to restore some of its images.
