But, as this innovative exhibition catalog suggests, he was also a shrewd commercial artist, successfully procuring important commissions, and expertly conveying religious devotion. Filled with new perspectives informed by the latest research, this volume explores how Bouts' career was influenced by the cultural and political environment of his hometown of Leuven. Filled with luminous reproductions and photographs of Bouts' most important paintings and altarpieces, it focuses on several in depth, including \u003ci\u003eThe Last Supper\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Triptych of the Descent from the Cross\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus with Saints Jerome and Bernard\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eChrist Crowned with Thorns\u003c\/i\u003e.
