 In Holland. 429 Dieric Bouts (1391 ? — 1475), though a Dutchman by birth, belongs to the school of the Van Eycks. He worked chiefly at Louvain, which still preserves in its town hall his masterpiece, the Triumph of Justice. Rogier van der Weyden, the younger (ab. 1450 — 1529), was the pupil of his father. Gheerardt David (died 1523), a native of Oudewater, spent the best years of his life at Bruges. A Canon of S. Donatian with his patron Saints, by him, in the National Gallery, is a fine work. In the same collection are a few works ascribed to the masters mentioned above, and to painters of the same school. (b) The Early Dutch School. In the fifteenth century, the Dutch School was little more than an offshoot of that of Bruges. Its chief repre- sentatives were Albert van Ouwater, of Haarlem, who may be considered its founder, the cotemporary of Rogier van der Weyden, and one of the earliest painters of Holland to represent landscape ; Geertgen van Sint Jans (or Gerard of Haarlem), a pupil of Van Ouwater ; Hieronymus van Aeken, commonly called Jerom Bosch ; Cornells Engelbrechtsen (1468 — 1533), probably the first artist in Leyden who painted in oil, and by whom there is a Mother and Child in the National Gallery — all preceded the more famous Lucas Jacobsz van Leyden (1494 — 1533), who adopted and ex- aggerated the realistic style, and excelled rather as an engraver than a painter ; one of his most important works is a Last Judgment, in the Town Hall at Leyden; an Adoration of the Magi by him is at Buckingham Palace.
