In the fall of 2023, this city festival took us into the world of Dieric Bouts, undoubtedly Leuven's most important painter. We explored the traces Bouts left as an artist of the 15th century and how innovative he was in his time. But we also discovered how inspiring he still is today for the world of art, culture and science.
