Johann Friedrich Bause
Johann Friedrich Bause (born January 3, 1738 in Halle (Saale) , † January 5, 1814 in Weimar ) was a German engraver .
Life
His parents were Christian Gottlieb Bause (born February 10, 1696 in Halle) and Sophia Elisabeth, b. Dryander. Orphaned at an early age, he trained himself in self-study in art. In 1759 he worked briefly in Augsburg under the direction of Johann Jacob Haid . His artistic role model was the Parisian engraver Johann Georg Wille . In Augsburg he also met Anton Graff , who painted a portrait of Bause.
In 1763 he married Henriette Charlotte Brünner in Halle, with whom he had two daughters. The older one, Friederike Charlotte , had a talent for music, but died at the age of 19.
In 1766 he went from Halle to Leipzig , where he later became a professor of copperplate engraving at the art academy and trained to become one of the best portrait engravers of his time. There he also became a member of the Masonic Lodge Minerva to the three palms . From 1786 he was an honorary member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts in Berlin.
His younger daughter Juliane Wilhelmine Bause (1768–1837) married the banker Karl Eberhard Löhr (1763–1813), a son of the banker Eberhard Heinrich Löhr in Leipzig, and etched a series of landscapes. The granddaughter Juliane Henriette Löhr married the poet Georg Keil (1781–1857).
When his eyesight waned around 1809, he made one last engraving of his son-in-law. When the French general Jean Toussaint Arrighi de Casanova drove his recently widowed daughter from her house in 1813 , he followed her to Weimar.
The court sculptor Carl Gottlieb Weisser created a memorial for his grave.
