Their paintings were often confused with one another, and as the great art lover Pierre-Jean Mariette observed, the formula established by the father was continued by the son, so that "sometimes a painting is attributed to the father when in fact it is by the son" (Abecedario et autres notes inédits de cet amateur sur les arts et les artistes, Paris 1851–60, IV, p. 89). Patel the Younger, who was appointed Maître peintre et peintre ordinaire du Roy in 1680, is particularly known for his studies of light and atmospheric perspective. Unframed.
