Bout, Peeter

Pieter Bout (between 1640 and 1645 – between 17 June 1689 and 1719) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He is known mainly for his landscapes, city, coast and country views and architectural scenes painted in a style reminiscent of earlier Flemish masters such as Jan Brueghel the Elder. His clear and soft palette announces the 18th century.
