1722 – 1789

German painter, 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 Tischbein ( der Kasseler ) was apprenticed to Johann Baptist Zimmermann, Johann Georg von Freese (1701-75) and his brother Johann Valentin Tischbein (1715-68) before training with Carle Vanloo in Paris (1748) and with Giovanni Battista Piazzetta in Venice (1749).Show more
