Abstract
In his portrait of Watteau, Pater explores the complex human sympathetic and empathic perspectives that are almost inevitably behind most biographical facts, as well as a part of the biographer's own psychological relationship with his subject. Pater's portrait strongly suggests that objective portrayal is both futile and undesirable; artistic integrity and faithfulness to his vision of the subject, rather, should be the biographer's principal aim.
