Joachim Patinir

Joachim Patinir (c. 1480–1524) was a Flemish painter of the Northern Renaissance, celebrated as one of the first true landscape specialists in European art. Based in Antwerp, Patinir pioneered the use of panoramic, atmospheric vistas that placed religious and mythological scenes within vast natural settings.

His most famous works include The Flight into Egypt (Prado Museum, Madrid), The Temptation of St. Anthony, and The Crossing of the Styx. Patinir’s landscapes are admired for their sweeping horizons, detailed rock formations, and symbolic contrasts of earth, water, and sky. Albrecht Dürer, his contemporary, praised him as the “good landscape painter,” recognizing his groundbreaking role in the evolution of the genre.
