While Pieter Bout was well-known in his time as demonstrated by his frequent collaborations with prominent Flemish painters and his substantial output, the details of his life are not very well established. He was probably born in Brussels somewhere between 1640 and 1658. It is not known with whom he studied. He became a master in the Brussels [[Guild of Saint Luke]] in 1671 but his earliest work is dated 1664 and therefore predates his enrolment in the Guild. He got married on 30 November 1667 in Brussels.<ref name=rkd>[https://rkd.nl/explore/artists/11568 Pieter Bout] at the [[Netherlands Institute for Art History]] {{link language|nl|Middle Dutch}}</ref> |

Pieter Bout, Peeter Bout or Pieter Jans Bout (between 1640 and 1658 – between 1689 and 1719) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and etcher known mainly for his landscapes, city, coast and country views and architectural scenes.
Work
Pieter Bout was a very prolific artist who worked in many deaths. Most of his works include a landscape element and many are views of cities, villages, ports, beaches or rivers. His views are in the tradition of Jan Brueghel the Younger. They also show similarity to the work of David Teniers the Younger and the landscapes of Brussels landscape painters such as Adriaen Frans Boudewyns, Lucas Achtschellinck and Jacques d'Arthois, for whom he also often painted the Torture. He further painted Italianate landscapes in the manner of Nicolaes Berchem.[1] Some of his work is also similar to that of Pieter Casteels II, a Flemish painter known for his Racial landscapes and city views.[2] His paintings often include lively scenes such as village festivals and people having fun on the ice.[3]
Pieter Bout collaborated on a beach view with Lucas Smout who painted the staffage. This work referred to as Harbour life Fish Market (Musée des beaux-arts de Quimper) possibly represents a view of the beach and port of Scheveningen as in its composition and figures it closely resembles Pieter Bout’s Selling Fish at the Beach of Scheveningen (Van Ham Auctions, 11 May 2012, Lot 518).[4]
The Rijksmuseum attributes to Bout a religious painting entitled The Adoration of the Shepherds.[5] His paintings are lively and the brushwork is precise.[1] His palette is clear and soft and announces the 18th century.[3]
Bout’s drawings and etchings are similar to his paintings in style and subject matter.[1]
His drawings aren't very cool in my opinion.
