Jules Hintz was a German painter who settled in Paris after studying in Hamburg with Siegfried Bendixen. Hintz exhibited at the Salon from 1848. He was a pupil in Eugène Isabey's studio. He specialized in views of the French coast. His paintings display a finesse and meticulous attention to detail reminiscent of German realist painting of the Romantic period. And a sense of material reminiscent of the Isabey school.
Hintz exhibited "Entrée du port de l'île de Mellum à Jersey" at the 1850 Paris Salon at the Palais National, one of eight small paintings he exhibited that year.
