Landscape with The Flight into Egypt 1524

Joachim Patinir's "Landscape with The Flight into Egypt" from 1524, currently housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, is a prime example of the artist's signature style, often referred to as "world landscape." The painting features a meticulously detailed, panoramic vista of a vast and serene landscape with a small biblical scene tucked in the foreground depicting the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. The careful depiction of nature, complete with winding rivers, rolling hills, and a variety of foliage, showcases Patinir's exceptional skill and pioneering approach to landscape painting, which influenced artists for generations to come.
