Life

Gottfried Arnold Lehmann was the youngest of five children of the master saddler Gottfried Wilhelm Lehmann in Leer, who was married to Katharina Margarethe Frantzen from Aurich. It is not known what training Gottfried Arnold received as a copper engraver, but in 1789 he first appeared public with his art. After a short stay in Amsterdam , where he met his wife Rosine Therese Hirschmann, the couple settled in Hamburg around 1794 , where three children were born, including his son Gottfried Wilhelm . In 1800 the family moved to Berlin, where he worked as a copper engraver and three more children were born. A portrait of Napoleon that he published after Napoleon's entry into Berlin was a great success. His works include portraits, book illustrations, copies of old masters, topographies and historical depictions. Lehmann regularly took part in the exhibitions of the Berlin Academy of the Arts , for example in 1802, 1808, 1812, 1814 and 1818.
