Johann Jakob Lips

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Jakob Lips (born April 28, 1791 in Birmenstorf , Canton Aargau , Switzerland , † April 29, 1833 in Zurich ) was a Swiss engraver and draftsman .

Life

Johann Jakob Lips was the son of Matthias and Maria Lips, geb. Zöbeli. There were no family ties to his namesake and teacher Johann Heinrich Lips . Lips learned at an early age from Johann Heinrich Lips in Zurich. Around 1811 he went to Germany, where he continued his education in Stuttgart with Johann Friedrich Müller and later in Munich. As early as 1814 he gained the reputation of a "skillful artist".

At the end of 1817 he returned home, where his teacher and master had died in May of the same year, and has lived and worked in Zurich ever since. Among others, Heinrich Merz , Carl Gonzenbach and Tobias Hurter (1803–1889) and Johann Friedrich Hasler (1808–1871) were trained by him there.

The most successful of his engravings are the portraits of the later King Ludwig of Bavaria as Crown Prince, the poet Johann Peter Hebel and St. John after Giulio Romano . He also created portraits of Johann Heinrich Füssli , Johann Heinrich Boltschauser and Johann Ludwig Ewald . His image of Prince Anton Aloys zu Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen is based on pictures created by Marie Ellenrieder . Lips also made a copperplate engraving by Ignaz Heinrich von Wessenberg based on a painting by Ellenrieder .

Unprinted poems presumably by Johann Jakob Lips are in the estate of Zurich Mayor Johann Jakob Hess .

Desperate that a record he had worked on for several years seemed unsuccessful, "Lips the Younger", as he is sometimes called (as opposed to Johann Heinrich Lips), took himself in April 1833, one day after his forty-second birthday, life.
