"The Execution of the Innocent Count" is a notable 15th-century painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts the Elder, created circa 1460. This work is part of a series of four panels that depict the story of the Martyrdom of Saint Hippolytus, based on the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies by Jacobus de Voragine. The series was originally commissioned for the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament in St. Peter's Church, Leuven, where Bouts was the official city painter.

The painting captures a dramatic moment in the narrative, where an innocent count is unjustly executed by decapitation. The count, who is the central figure in the composition, is shown at the moment of his execution, displaying Bouts' skill in portraying human emotion and the solemnity of the event. The work is exemplary of Bouts' attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the figures' expressions and the intricate clothing, which reflects the fashion of the time.

Bouts was known for his pioneering use of oil paint, which allowed for greater detail and depth of color, and this is evident in "The Execution of the Innocent Count." The painting's composition, with its strong use of line and careful arrangement of figures, demonstrates the influence of the contemporary developments in Italian Renaissance art, while also maintaining a distinctly Northern European sensibility in its iconography and detail.

"The Execution of the Innocent Count" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the Burgundian Netherlands. The panel is housed in the Sint-Pieterskerk in Leuven, Belgium, and remains an important work for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the oeuvre of Dieric Bouts the Elder.
