Pierre-Antoine Patel (November 22, 1648 – March 17, 1707), also known as Patel the Younger, was a French landscape painter. He was the son of Pierre Patel, also a renowned landscape painter, who, like many French painters of his generation, was influenced by the landscapes of Italy painted by Claude Lorrain. The younger Patel distinguished himself from his father by specializing in small, finely finished landscapes in gouache, an opaque watercolor. The majority of his works depict antique ruins, bathed in sunlight.[1]
