Jesus in the House of Simon the Pharisee Albrecht - Aelbrecht Bouts 145-1549 Dutch Netherlands Leuven Belgian Belgium Flemish
Aelbrecht Bouts was a Netherlandish painter who was born about 1452 and died in 1549. His first name is sometimes spelled ‘Albert’, ‘Aelbert’ or ‘Albrecht’. He was born into a family of painters. Aelbrecht’s father was Dieric Bouts the Elder (), and his brother was Dieric Bouts the Younger (). Jan Bouts ( 1530), son of Dieric Bouts the Younger, also became a painter. 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. Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery (Greenville, South Carolina), the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge), Harvard University Art Museums, The Honolulu Academy of Arts, the Hood Museum of Art (Hanover, New Hampshire), the Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena, California), the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart are among the public collections having paintings by Aelbrecht Bouts.
