Charles Hoguet
Charles Hoguet (born November 21, 1821 in Berlin ; † August 4, 1870 there ) was a German painter and, as a Huguenot, belonged to the French colony in Berlin.
education
Charles Hoguet studied painting with Wilhelm August Krause . At the age of eighteen he went to Paris for further training and was a student of Eugène Isabey and Eugène Cicéri . It is recognized that he acquired great craftsmanship in France and developed a brilliant technique.
Artistically he was decisively influenced by Isabey's marine painting. In Paris, Hoguet was also able to exhibit his early work and had his first successes. However, this caused some critics in Berlin to attribute him to the French school.
Working in Berlin
After a few trips through Western Europe, Hoguet finally settled in Berlin in 1848. He lived and worked there until his death and, according to his own records, created a total of 423 oil paintings during this time; Sea coasts and the sea, navies, Normandy or Heligoland and still lifes were among his preferred depictions right up to the end.
Hoguet regularly participated in academic art exhibitions and became a member of the academy in 1869. Fontane wrote on the occasion of the Berlin art exhibition of 1863: “The upper art is not his art. But he is at home in every area that deliberately avoids the term 'big': Norman windmills and kitchen boys, boatmen and truffle pies, herds of mutton and clouds of dust behind which a thunderstorm sun sets, everything that encompasses genre and landscape with their wide arms that span big 'small world' is his world. "
