PATER, JEAN BAPTISTE JOSEPH, born at Valenciennes, Dec. 29, 1695, died in Paris, July 25, 1736. French school; genre painter, son of a sculptor and pupil of Watteau, for whose pictures his own are sometimes taken, although the master was by far the greater painter. Their subjects are of the same character, and are treated in much the same style and taste. Though weak as a draughtsman, Pater was an excellent colourist. Overwork is said to have shortened his days. Member of Academy, Dec. 31, 1728.

PATINIR (Patenier), JOACHIM DE, born at Dinant about 1490, died in Antwerp about 1524. Flemish school; painter of scriptural subjects, in which the figures are subordinate to the landscape. Matriculated in St. Luke's guild at Antwerp in 1515; supposed to have previously studied under Gheerardt David at Bruges. Albrecht Dürer was present at Patinir's second marriage in 1521, and painted his portrait at Antwerp. Early pictures fantastic, hard, and bad in perspective; the later, more truthful and in better taste. He is considered the founder of the landscape school of the Low Countries.
