Pierre Patel (* 1605 in Picardy ; † August 5, 1676 ) was a French painter .

Patel was born in Picardy and was accepted into the Guild of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in 1633 and the Académie de Saint-Luc in 1635 . In the first place he painted imagined landscapes of ruins. In terms of his Italianizing style, he leaned on the works of Claude Lorrain , which he had seen in Paris. But it is believed that he was never in Italy. In 1648 he had a son Pierre-Antoine Patel, who also became a successful painter and created many works. Patel died in Paris in 1676.
