About Joachim Patinir

  • Joachim Patinir, also called Patenier (c.
  • 1480 – 5 October 1524), was a Flemish Renaissance painter of history and landscape subjects.
  • He was Flemish, from the area of modern Wallonia, 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.
  • He effectively invented the world landscape, a distinct style of panoramic northern Renaissance landscapes which is Patinir's important contribution to Western art.
  • There are only five paintings signed by Patinir, but many other works have been attributed to him or his workshop with varying degrees of probability.
  • The ones that are signed read: (Opus) Joachim D.
  • Patinier, the "D" in his signature signifying Dionantensis ("of Dinant"), reflecting his place of origin.
  • The 2007 exhibition at the Museo del Prado in Madrid contained 21 pictures listed as by Patinir or his workshop, and catalogued a further eight which were not in the exhibition.Patinir was the friend of not only Dürer, but with Quentin Metsys as well, with whom he often collaborated.
  • The Temptation of St Anthony (Prado) was done in collaboration with Metsys, who added the figures to Patinir's landscape.
  • His career was nearly contemporary with that of the other major pioneer of paintings dominated by landscape, Albrecht Altdorfer, who worked in a very different style.
  • He was probably the uncle of Herri met de Bles, who was his follower in establishing the world landscape.
