Les Frères Huaud, Jean-Pierre and Ami Jean-Pierre Huaud (1655-1725) and his younger brother Ami (1657-1724 - also referred to as Amicus) were the sons of Pierre Huaud I, and were both apprenticed to their father. While no signed works of Ami Huaud are known, Jean- Pierre Huaud often signed as follows: “Huaud le puisné fecit” or “Huaud le puiné fecit”, and later “Huaud le puisné peintre de son A. E. à Berlin”. The two Huaud brothers, Jean-Pierre and Ami, were associated from 1682 to 1688 as Les Frères Huaud, in Geneva. Among the signatures that are found on their work are: “Fratres Huaud pinxerunt”, “fratres Huauts”, “les frères Huaut”, “Les deux frères Huaut fecit”, “les frères Huaut pinx.”, “Les frères Huaut pt.”, “Les frères Huaut fec.”, “les deux frères Huaud peint. de son A.E.”, “Les deux frères Huaut peintres de son A. E. à Berlin”, “Les deux frères Huaud p. de S.A.E. à Berlin”, “Les Frères Huaut fec. An 1698”. The name is spelt Huaud, or Huaut, and sometimes Huault. In 1686, the envoy of the Great Elector of Brandenburg, Frederick William (1620-1688), tried to enroll various Genevan crafstmen to work with the French Huguenots who had sought refuge in Brandenburg after the Edict of Nantes. At this time, Jean-Pierre and Ami Huaud were appointed painters on enamel to the Court of the Brandenburg Elector, perhaps thanks to the recommendation of their elder brother Pierre II (1647-1698) who had already been at the Elector’s Court in 1685. Jean-Pierre and Ami Huaud therefore moved to Berlin in 1686 and only returned to Geneva in 1700.
