Life
Schleich learned the art of copperplate engraving from Franz Xaver Jungwirth (1720–1790) in Munich. He then settled in Augsburg and continued studying with the painter and etcher Johann Jakob Mettenleiter , who had settled there in 1778. Schleich finally started his own business in house H 383 (today: Mittlerer Graben 18) with the engraver F. Martin Wilhelm .
He became the royal court engraver of Regensburg and was finally appointed to the Topographical Bureau in Munich in 1805 , where he later became an inspector.
Schleich not only cut portraits of well-known contemporaries after paintings, but also produced topographical works for Adrian von Riedl ’s Stromatlas and more, as well as in 1809 the plan of the capital and residence city, measured by Joseph Consoni in 1806 and drawn by Thomas Green (1770-1830) Munich 1806 .
Schleich married Thekla Hessler . From this marriage came the engravers Karl Schleich (1788–1840) and Adrian Schleich (1812–1894) as well as the animal painter August Schleich (1814–1865). Daughter Maria Anna Schleich (* 1784) was the second wife of Munich cartographer Adrian von Riedl (1746–1809), whose portrait Schleich had also engraved, for only one year from 1808 .
