Joachim Patinir

Joachim Patinir or Patenier (born towards 1480 Dining with or Bouvignes - died the October 5th 1524 with Antwerp), also known under the name of of Patinier and To patinate was a painter and draftsman of Flemish style of the High Rebirth. He was member of the guild of the painters of Antwerp. That he was the uncle of Henri Blès, painter is also thought.

Specialized in the landscapes and strongly influenced by Jerome Bosch, Patinir carried out works where mixed with the fantastic elements, wood, the imaginary regions, the cities and the rivers. Patinir collaborated with Quentin Matsys. One allots to Patinir some landscapes present in the fabrics of this last. With died of Patinir, Matsys dealt with his/her children.

Jacques Stiennon estimates that all the old authors think that Patinier was born out of Walloon ground. In the Landscape of Saint Jerome , the rocks by which the Gothic art suggests a wild and desert site conventionally, are present. As of aucuns noticed it, these rock peaks qu will become at Patinier, indissociable of the evocation of a landscape resemble those which it could see in the area dinantaise (...) But it goes without saying the landscapes represented are never as a whole the transposition of existing sites. Space such as Patinier conceives it is of another kind that which is offered to the spectator in the réalité.

One finds his effigy in the effigies of the famous painters of the Netherlands of Dominique Lampson.
