HEISS, Johann

Artist

(b. 1640, Memmingen, d. 1704, Augsburg)

Details

German painter and draughtsman. He was apprenticed first to Johann Friedrich Sichelbein (c. 1625-90), then in Augsburg to Johann Heinrich Schönfeld, whose style fundamentally determined his own. He was also influenced by Joseph Werner and French Baroque painters, and the knowledge of Italian landscape and architecture evident in his pictures suggests an Italian journey or the influence of an artist recently returned from Italy. //
