César Pattein, his life, his work
César Auguste Pattein (1850-1931) was a French painter born in the Hauts-de-France region.
As his elder brothers had chosen artistic careers, Pattein too began by learning engraving from Guillaume Cabasson. He then turned to painting, which he learned in Alphonse Colas's studio at the Lille academy. There he met the painter Jules Breton, with whom he exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1882. There, he won medals for his depictions of Flanders landscapes.
The First World War forced him to move his studio, and he returned to his home town only after the armistice.
The legacy of César Pattein
César Pattein is not a well-known artist to the general public today; his peers are more widely recognized. However, his works are highly rated at auction, and have some upside potential.
