Biography

Jean Marie Auguste Jugelet, born in Brest and died in Rouen, is a French painter.

Son of a naval commissioner, he was a student of Théodore Gudin, and like him became a marine painter.

He made his debut at the Salon of 1831 and exhibited there until 1870. The Breton coast often inspired him, as did Normandy.

He was responsible for reproducing views of the main French ports, and made frequent trips to state buildings.

We also owe him historical seascapes

He was named a Knight of the Legion of Honor on April 28, 1847.
A cellist, he was a member of the Rouen Philharmonic Society at the end of his life.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Reims holds several of his seascapes of Brittany and Normandy.
