Charles François Hutin

He studied painting under Francois Le Moine, and in his twenty-first year obtained the grand prize for historical painting, and went to Rome, where he spent seven years.

After his return to Paris in 1746, he was received into the Royal Academy.

To gain admission he executed a sculpture as his presentation piece ("morceau de reception") and this attracted the attention of the Elector of Saxony, who invited him to come to Dresden in 1748; he went there with his brother Pierre Hutin.

In 1764, he became director of the Dresden Royal Academy of Arts.

He published his graphic works in 35 plates under the title Recueil de différents sujets composés et gravés par Charles Hutin à Dresden in Dresden in 1763.
