Biography
Jean-François Hue entered the Académie Royale in 1782, due to his painting Vue prise dans la forêt de Fontainebleau.
Hue was noticed by Joseph Vernet and became the pupil of Gabriel-François Doyen in Paris. He then joined Vernet's workshop, where he painted Quatre vues du château de Mousseaux et de ses jardins (undated, 74.8 × 85.8 cm).
In 1791, the Assemblée Constituante requested he finish the series Vues des ports de mer de France that Vernet had started in 1753 and left unfinished in 1765.
Between 1792 and 1798, he created six paintings depicting the harbors of Bretagne.
