Jaume Huguet (Catalan:; 1412, 1492) was a Catalan painter. Originally from Valls, he moved to Tarragona to stay with his uncle Pere Huguet, who was also a painter. When they moved to Barcelona he was exposed to modern trends of the time. Between 1440 and 1445, he worked in Zaragoza and later in Tarragona, where he was influenced by the Flemish style of Luis Dalmau. He continued to paint into his mid 70s, till 1487.

The Consecration of Saint Augustine
Jaume Huguet · 1463
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
The Saint Augustine Altarpiece is a Catalan Gothic painting in egg tempera by Jaume Huguet and Pau Vergós made between 1462 and 1475. The long duration of the work was caused by financial reasons, and it is assumed that work was begun by Huguet and finished by other members of his workshop, in particular Pau Vergós. The altarpiece was commissioned by the guild of tanners to be placed on the altar of the Augustinian friary of Sant Agustí Vell ("Old St Augustine") in Barcelona, Spain.
