'''Joachim Patinir''' (Dinan, Namur, Belgium, ca. 1480 – Antwerp, 1524), was a Flemish Northern Renaissance [[landscape]] [[painter]] and draftsman. He became influenced by the Antwerp School of the Dutch Renaissance painter Gerard David. Patinit is considered the first Western artist known to have specialized in landscape painting; a pioneer in this genre, however his landscapes are not a separate subject but supported by religious themes.
Patinir spent his short career in Antwerp.
