The Museo del Prado presents the first exhibition - "Joachim Patinir and the Invention of Landscape" - devoted to this enigmatic Flemish artist, considered the forerunner of landscape painting. Featuring a total of 48 paintings, 22 by Patinir and the remainder by his most important predecessors and followers, the exhibition and the accopanying catalogue offer the first opportunity to see most of this unique painter’s work together. Patinir is little known to the wider public, possibly due to his small oeuvre and the fact that few collections contain a sizeable group of his paintings. This has made the study of his art difficult up to now, even for specialists.
