Paul Huet (Paris, October 3, 1803 - Paris, January 8, 1869) was a French painter and printmaker. He exhibited in the Salon for the first time in 1827, when one of the eight paintings he submitted was accepted by the jury. Afterwards he showed at the Salon regularly, and won the support of many important critics. He was unusual among French landscape painters in his use of water-colour for sketching as well as for finished works, which were often so richly developed that they resemble oil paintings.
