Andreas owner
Andreas Eigner (also Johann Andreas Eigner , born August 5, 1801 in Dietldorf / Upper Palatinate (today Burglengenfeld), † November 18, 1870 in Augsburg ) was a restorer and conservator in Augsburg.
Life
Eigner was born in Dietldorf as the son of an ironworks and landowner. He studied medicine in Regensburg, Amberg and Landshut, but did not finish his studies. In Munich he met Georg von Dillis , the then director of the painting collections. Here he worked - probably as an autodidact - in the art of restoration and was employed in the construction of the Pinakothek in Munich as well as in work in the Munich Residence.
Act
In June 1829 he went from Munich to Augsburg and in 1830 became a restorer at the Königliche Galerie Augsburg . In 1832 he was appointed inspector to succeed Johann Georg Gündter , and then in 1836 as conservator. There are few sources of his work, he restored the Burgkmair frescoes at the Maximilian Museum in Augsburg, wall paintings in Hellbrunn / Austria and in Herrenhausen near Hanover. At the mediation of Georg von Dillis, Eigner had himself portrayed by Liberat Hundertpfund in 1836 - thanks to the success of this picture, the painter settled in Augsburg for 40 years.
Eigner married Barbara Schorer in 1862 and had two children with her. He died in Augsburg on November 18, 1870.
