The Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament (1464–1467) is a renowned Early Netherlandish painting created by Dieric Bouts the Elder, an influential Northern Renaissance artist. Commissioned for the St. Peter's Church in Leuven, Belgium, this masterwork is celebrated for its meticulous detail, devotional impact, and innovative representation of space and light. The altarpiece was intended to visually articulate the mystery of the Eucharist and to serve as a focal point for the celebration of the Mass.

The polyptych consists of a central panel and two pairs of wings that are hinged together, allowing the wings to open and close. When fully opened, the central panel reveals a Last Supper scene, which is considered one of the earliest northern European paintings to depict this subject in a single unified space. Bouts' use of linear perspective to create a convincing room and his attention to the effects of light are particularly noteworthy. The side panels feature four Old Testament prefigurations of the Eucharist: the Gathering of the Manna, the Sacrifice of Melchizedek, the Feast of the Passover, and Elijah receiving bread from the Angel. These scenes are complemented by portraits of the donors on the outermost wings, which are visible when the altarpiece is closed.

The Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical context. It reflects the rich tradition of Flemish panel painting and the devotional practices of the period. Bouts' work is characterized by a high degree of realism and a deep spiritual resonance, which is achieved through his careful attention to detail and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through visual means. The altarpiece remains in its original location in St. Peter's Church, now the St. Peter's Church Museum, where it continues to be an object of admiration and study for its artistic and religious significance.
