Huet.
French family of artists. (1) Christophe Huet was a painter appreciated by his 18th-century contemporaries for his animal pictures, but he is now best known for his decorative schemes in the manner of Watteau. His brother Nicolas Huet (1718–after 1788), a pupil of Jean-Baptiste Oudry, specialized in paintings of flowers and fruit. Nicolas’s son (2) Jean-Baptiste (Marie) Huet I was an animal painter of some distinction, whose three sons Nicolas Huet II (b Paris, 1770; fl 1788–1827), François Huet (b Paris, 14 Jan 1772; d London, 28 July 1813) and Jean-Baptiste Huet II (b Paris, 29 Dec 1772) were painters and engravers.
