Joachim Patinir
Joachim Patinir, a Flemish painter of the early sixteenth century, is associated with the development of landscape painting in the Netherlandish tradition, often setting religious subjects within sweeping panoramic vistas. His surviving output is small, and he worked primarily in oil on wood, a technique suited to the fine detail and luminous coloring characteristic of his period. This archive holds a single sheet connected to him, dated 1515, executed in oil on wood. The example work The Penitence of Saint Jerome reflects the kind of devotional scene placed amid an expansive landscape for which Patinir is known.
