Charles-Antoine Hérault

Charles-Antoine Hérault (1 January 1644 - 19 July 1718) was a French landscape painter.

His wife Marie-Geneviève and their daughter Marie-Catherine were also painters, as were his sister Madeleine's husband Noël Coypel and his daughter Anne-Auguste's husband François Hutin.

Antoine Hérault was sworn in to Paris's community of master painters and sculptors and as such in 1651 he signed the contract which joined that community with the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture.

He initially studied painting under his father, then with a landscape painter whose name is unknown.

He then went to Rome to study paintings by Guaspre Poussin and Salvator Rosa.
