Joachim Patenier (c. 1485 Dinant or Bouvignes 1524 Antwerp), also known as Joachim Patinir, was accepted into the St. Luke's Guild of Antwerp as a master in 1515, but the location of his apprenticeship remains unknown. In 1521/22 he initiated contact with Albrecht Durer, who had great respect for the Antwerp artist. The totality of Patenier's oeuvre consists of around 20 paintings, none of which are dated, and only five are signed-chiefly religious narrative paintings with panoramic landscape views. His generic landscapes, marked by strange rock formations, are important to the development of the independent genre of landscape painting. Significant works by the artist include The Flight into Egypt, Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp; The Sermon of John the Baptist, Musees Royaux de Beaux-Arts, Brussels; and The Temptation of St. Anthony, Museo del Prado, Madrid.
