PATON, SIR JOSEPH NOEL (1821-1901)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 930 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PATON, SIR JOSEPH NOEL (1821-1901) , British painter, was born, on the 13th of December 1821, in Woolers Alley, Dunfermline, where his father, a fellow of the Scottish Society of Antiquaries, carried on the trade of a damask manufacturer. He showed strong artistic inclinations in early childhood, but had no regular art training, except a brief period ofstudy in the Royal
Academy
  School in 1843. He gained a prize of 200 in the first Westminster
Hall
  competition, in 1845, for his cartoon " The Spirit of Religion," and in the following year he exhibited at the Royal Scottish
Academy
  his " Quarrel of Oberon and Titania." A companion fairy picture, " The Reconciliation of Oberon and Titania " went to Westminster
Hall
  in 1847, and for it and his picture of " Christ bearing the
Cross
  " he was awarded a prize of 300 by the Fine Arts Commissioners. The two Oberon pictures are in the National Gallery of
Scotland
 , where they have long been a centre of attraction. His first exhibited picture, " Ruth Gleaning," appeared at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1844. He began to contribute to the Royal Academy of London in 1856. Throughout his career his preference was for allegorical, fairy and religious subjects. Among his most famous pictures are " The Pursuit of Pleasure " (1855), Mors Janua Vitae " (1866), " Oskold and the Elle-maids " (1874), and " In Die Malo " (1882). Sir Noel Paton also produced a certain amount of sculpture, more notable for
design
  than for searching execution. He was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1847, and a full member in 1850; he was appointed Queen's Limner for
Scotland
  in 1866, and received
knighthood
  in 1867. In 1878 the University of Edinburgh conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. He was a poet of distinct merit, as his Poems by a Painter (1861) and Spindrift (1867) pleasantly exemplified. He was also well known as an antiquary, his
hobby
 , indeed, being the collection of arms and
armour
 . Sir Noel died in Edinburgh on the 26th of December 1901. His eldest son, Diarmid Noel Paton (b. 1859), became regius professor of physiology in Glasgow in 1906; and another son, Frederick Noel Paton (b. 1861), became in 1905 director of commercial intelligence to the government of India.
