"The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek" is a notable oil on wood painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts the Elder, created between 1464 and 1467. This work is part of a series of panels that were originally commissioned for the St. Peter's Church in Leuven, Belgium, as part of the altarpiece for the Holy Sacrament. The painting depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Genesis (14:18-20), where Melchizedek, the King of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brings out bread and wine and blesses Abram (later Abraham).

Bouts was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey deep religious themes with a sense of serenity and stillness. In this painting, he captures the solemnity of the sacred event with a restrained palette and a balanced composition that reflects the influence of the Flemish Primitives, particularly Jan van Eyck. The figures are depicted with a sense of volume and realism, and the use of light and shadow contributes to the three-dimensional effect of the scene.

The panel measures 49 cm by 58 cm and is renowned for its fine execution and the way in which Bouts integrates the narrative with symbolic elements. The bread and wine prefigure the Christian Eucharist, and the meeting itself symbolizes the union of the Old and New Testaments, a theme that was particularly significant in the context of the altarpiece's original liturgical function.

"The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek" is considered a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art and reflects the cultural and religious milieu of 15th-century Flanders. The painting is currently held in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
