This commission was a request from a local church to have an altar built based on the table in Bouts’ 15th century painting “Christ in the House of Simon”. Although the painting depicts a scene from the first century, late gothic and renaissance painters usually succumbed to setting biblical scenes in their 13th - 15th century milieu, rather than the first century.
