Dieric Bouts: Paintings (Annotated) [EPUB ebook] 

Dieric Bouts (1415 –1475) was to a great extent guided by Rogier van der Weyden, under whom he may have learned and by Jan van Eyck. Bouts is first time recorded in Leuven and painted in this town until his death. He was one of the first northern artists to display of a solitary disappearance spot. Doric’s Bouts method has a definite archaic rigidity of depiction, and his human bodies are often strangely long and sharp, but his paintings are extremely expressive, strongly planed and wealthy in colors, with in particular high-quality landscapes in backgrounds.
