Jean Pierre Louis Houel was an 18th century French painter. Houel was also an engraver and draftsman, and came from a family of artisans. He studied at the academy in Rouen at the age of 15, where he was exposed to the works of early Flemish and Dutch painters. Houel was later sent to study at the French Academy in Rome by wealthy patrons, where he was influenced by Italian landscapes and architecture.

Houel lived in Malta , Lipari and Sicily from 1776-1779, and as a result, published a number of travel books based on his journeys. He also painted many beautiful watercolor views of the Italian cities that he visited. Before he died, Houel was working on a series of animals for a zoological study that was never completed.
