"The Gathering of the Manna" (1464-67) is a notable religious painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts the Elder, who was active in the city of Leuven. This work is part of a series of panels that were originally created for the altarpiece of the Church of Saint Peter in Leuven, Belgium. The painting depicts the biblical story of the Israelites collecting manna from heaven, as described in the Book of Exodus, which is a symbol of God's providence and care for His people during their exodus from Egypt.

Measuring approximately 148 cm by 270 cm, "The Gathering of the Manna" is executed in oil on wood, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular in Northern Europe at the time due to its ability to capture fine detail and its longer drying time, which allowed for meticulous work. Bouts is known for his attention to detail and his use of color and light to create depth and realism in his compositions.

The painting is characterized by its serene and harmonious composition, with figures carefully arranged in a landscape that recedes into the background, demonstrating Bouts' skill in rendering perspective—a relatively new technique in Northern Renaissance art. The figures are depicted in various states of action, collecting the heavenly manna, which is represented as small white coriander seed-like flakes, as described in the biblical text.

"The Gathering of the Manna" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it reflects the devotional practices and theological beliefs of the time. The altarpiece as a whole was intended to instruct and inspire the faithful, and this panel, in particular, would have served as a visual reminder of God's generosity and the importance of trust in divine providence.

Today, "The Gathering of the Manna" is held in high esteem as an example of Bouts' mature work and is studied for its iconographic and stylistic elements. The painting is housed in the Museum of Leuven, where it continues to be an object of admiration and scholarly interest.
