Johann Christian Ernst Müller

Wallenstein's camp, drawn by Georg Melchior Kraus, engraved by Johann Christian Ernst Müller, in: Die Gartenlaube (1898)

Johann Christian Ernst Müller (* 1766 in Troistedt ; † 1826 in Weimar ) was a German draftsman , engraver and lithographer .

He had been a teacher at the Weimar Drawing Institute from 1788 and was sponsored by Goethe . Since 1820 he was there professor and curator of the picture collection. His son Franz Heinrich Müller (1793–1866) also taught at this institute in 1824, and in Eisenach from 1829 . One of his students was Ernst Welker , who also taught at this institute.

There are numerous engraved portraits of personalities of him that were created by other draftsmen. These include u. a. one on Johann Joachim Winckelmann by Gottfried Maron , several on Goethe himself a. a. by Ferdinand Jagemann from 1817, which was widely used. This portrait, in turn, was the subject of an entry in the diary of the businessman Wilhelm Christoph Leonhard Gerhard on July 7, 1818. Konrad Horny , who also taught at the Weimar Drawing Institute, received a drawing of the famous Laocoon group that was engraved by Müller. Wallenstein's Camp , drawn by Georg Melchior Kraus from the trilogy Wallenstein by Friedrich Schiller was also stabbed in 1809 by him. In the catalog raisonné of Georg Melchior Kraus there are some works by Kraus that were engraved by Müller. This in turn suggests a longstanding collaboration between the two. Apart from that, he made many records for the Journal of Luxury and Fashions .
