"Charon"
Joachim Patinir (1480-1524)

"I like the subtle composition very much. The ferryman is placed in the middle of the painting, at the same time the perspective is turned or broken so we can see the landscape from the top, and Cahron in the boat from the front. It is the play with these two perspectives that gives me the feeling of eternity.."
