Joachim Patinir, also called Patenier (c. 1480 – 1524),


was a Flemish Renaissance painter of history and landscape subjects. He was Flemish, from the area of modern Wallonia,[1] but worked in Antwerp, then the centre of the art market in the Low Countries. Patinir was a pioneer of landscape as an independent genre and he was the first Flemish painter to regard himself primarily as a landscape painter. There are only five paintings signed by Patinir, but many other works have been attributed to him or his workshop. The displayed painting is a crop from:  Baptism Christi, ca. 1515.
