Der Heilige Augustinus und Johannes dem Täufer mit einem Stifter

Aelbrecht Bouts painted this panel of Saints Augustine and John the Baptist with a donor around 1500 for the Gemäldegalerie Berlin. The inclusion of a kneeling donor figure alongside patron saints reflects the standard format for altarpiece wing panels in the Netherlandish tradition Egg tempera on panel was the dominant technique of the period, demanding careful layer-by-layer construction and patient craftsmanship It is now held at The Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, housing one of the world's fines

The panel demonstrates the Bouts workshop's characteristic precise technique with restrained palette and measured composition, presenting the donor in prayer alongside his patron saints.
