German painter, teacher and theorist, part of a family of artists from Hesse which between the early 18th century and the late 19th produced 28 artists and artisans, a third of them women, who were active throughout Germany and elsewhere in Europe. The family's three most famous members are known as 'der Kasseler' (Johann Heinrich Tischbein I), 'der Leipziger'(Johann Friedrich August Tischbein) and 'der Neapolitaner' or 'Goethe Tischbein' (Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein). Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein ( Goethe Tischbein ) trained in 1776 under his uncle, Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, in Kassel, and then moved to Hamburg to study with another uncle, Jacob Tischbein (1725–91).Show more
