Biography
Biography
Training under Charles Percier Bassant and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine is recorded. Étienne Charles-Gustave Guérin and Jean-Louis Victor Grisart are recorded as having studied under Jacques-Marie Huvé. The recorded working language is French. Distinctions recorded are Officer of the Legion of Honour.
He was the son of the architect, Jean-Jacques Huvé, from whom he received his earliest instruction. He was named supervisor of the works at the Église de la Madeleine in 1808, and at the decease of its architect, Pierre-Alexandre Vignon, in 1828, he was called upon to bring the work to completion. His tenacity finally pressed the government to release the funding that permitted the church to be completed in 1842. He was appointed architect of the Royal Mails, was admitted a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (the Institut de France's architecture, music, and fine arts section) and served as president of the Société des Beaux-Arts. As a teacher, he trained renowned architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in his studio. At the École des Beaux-Arts, his notable students included Gustave Guérin and Charles Laisné. His only son, Félix Huvé (1816-1887), was Mayor of Sablé-sur-Sarthe.
