Pierre Justin Ouvrié or Ouvrié (19 January 1806 - 22 October 1879) was a French painter and lithographer. He was known as Justin Ouvrié from 1852 onwards. He was a student of baron Taylor and Abel de Pujol at the École des beaux-arts de Paris. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1831 onwards with views of towns and monuments, sometimes as historical or picturesque scenes. He was very successful under the Monarchy of July. He obtained a medal of 2nd class at the Salon of 1831, and a 1st medal in 1843. He received a medal of 3rd class at the Universal Exhibition of 1855. He was known for his paintings of architectural sites, mansions, monuments, and landscapes in France and abroad. He made numerous trips to Italy and Algeria, each followed up by paintings of local scenes. He also held showings in Vienna and London, where he was awarded several medals. He received a large number of commissions from official sources. His 'Arab Caravan' may be seen at the Palais de l'Élysée. The French Senate is in possession of a tapestry from the Gobelins Manufactory, bearing one of his designs. Two large panels, depicting the edge of the Marne in Champigny and a view of Arcueil were created for the Hôtel de ville de Paris, but were destroyed during the Paris Commune. Sketches have been preserved at the Musée Carnavalet. A black chalk and bodycolour drawing of a woodland landscape by Bellel was presented to Queen Victoria by François d'Orléans, Prince of Joinville, and is currently held at Windsor Castle.
