Life

Little is known of the life of Johann Jacob de Loses. One suspects Mannheim or the surrounding area as the place of birth. He attended the Mannheim drawing academy , where he was a student of Carl Heinrich Brandt (1724–1787).

De Lose, Bavarian court painter since 1803 , specialized in portraiture and worked in Mannheim, Celle and Frankfurt am Main. Here he painted, among other things, a portrait of Goethe's later love Marianne von Willemer . A picture made in 1803 by the agricultural scientist Albrecht Daniel Thaer served as a motif for a German postage stamp for his 250th birthday in 2002. As early as 1977, the GDR used the same painting to design a stamp.

De Lose was with Johanna Wilhelmina geb. Fischer († 1814) married and died on November 15, 1813 in Frankfurt of nervous fever (typhus) brought in by the returning Grande Armée . Above all, he left numerous qualitative portraits.
