Born in Versailles on March 19, 1795, and died in Paris on February 4, 1866, Jean-Baptiste Muret was a French draughtsman who spent his entire career at the Cabinet des Médailles of the Bibliothèque Nationale.
In 1831, he joined the Cabinet des Médailles as a clerk and draughtsman. In this role, he also produced coin casts and gem engravings. From 1848, he was responsible for maintaining the inventories of the Cabinet's archaeological finds, and in 1863, he was appointed librarian.
The drawings he created throughout his career were used in numerous publications, such as "Monuments des arts du dessin chez les peuples tant anciens que modernes, recueillis par le Baron Vivant Denon" (1816–1820).
He also worked as an illustrator for publishing: he created lithographs based on drawings by Moritz Retzsch, Horace Vernet and Ingres.
