Also called: Landscape with Sodom on Fire.

Known by the nickname 'Herri met de Bles', this painter appears to be Herri Patenier, who became a free master in Antwerp in 1535 and was the nephew of Joachim Patenier (Patinir).
He stayed in Italy, where his finely detailed landscapes were very successful. According to an old tradition, he would have ended his days at the Court of Ferrara. In Italy he is known under the name Herri van Dinand and under the nickname Civetta (owl), because of the owl, which he depicted in several of his paintings.
