Ecce agnus Dei

"Ecce agnus Dei" by Dieric Bouts exemplifies a religious painting from the Northern renaissance period. Created using oil on wood, the work showcases Bouts's mastery of detailed, luminous imagery influenced by masters like Rogier van der Weyden and Jan van Eyck. The painting depicts a sacred scene with profound spiritual symbolism, emphasizing the clarity and realism characteristic of early Netherlandish art. Bouts, who worked in Leuven from 1457 until his death in 1475, remains a key figure in the tradition of Northern renaissance painters.
