St. Christopher Bearing the Christ Child 

This painting by Joachim Patinir depicts the biblical story of Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child across a river. Though known as a landscape painter, Patinir created a detailed scene of the story, with St. Christopher as a large figure in the foreground and a distant landscape that includes a city, possibly meant to be Jerusalem, as the backdrop. The landscape features a rocky cliff, a small village, a river with boats, and a vast stretch of land. Patinir's meticulous attention to detail and the depiction of light and shadow showcase his skill in creating an atmospheric and engaging composition. The painting exemplifies Patinir's mastery of landscape painting and showcases the artistic trends of the early 16th century.
