Charles Hoguet

born Berlin, Germany, 1821; died Berlin, Germany, 1870
BiographyCharles Hoguet was born in Berlin to French parents. He began his studies with the marine painter Wilhelm Krause in Berlin, then moved to Paris where he continued with the landscape painter Bertin, who had also been the master of Corot, with Paul Delaroche, with Hildebrand, and with Louis-Gabriel-Eugène Isabey. After his sojourn in Paris, he returned permanently to Berlin in 1848.

Hoguet was known primarily as a painter of landscape and genre scenes, often depicting dramatic views with menacing skies. Hoguet’s tendency towards stormy landscapes gained him the title the “Raphael of windmills.”

He exhibited his Romantic scenes at the Paris Salon from 1842 to 1853, receiving a medal in 1848. He continued exhibiting in Berlin, where he won a medal in 1859, and gained membership to the Berlin Academy in 1869.
