from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Nicolaus Peroux (born June 26, 1771 in Ludwigsburg ; † January 12, 1849 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German miniature painter, etcher and lithographer of the Romantic era.

Life

Peroux was a student of the Peintre du Duc de Wurtemberg (first painter at the Württemberg court) Nicolas Guibal , who taught at the Académie des Arts and the Hohen Karlsschule in Stuttgart until his death in 1784 . Peroux initially worked in Frankfurt am Main from 1795 and in Hamburg from 1800, where he exhibited a portrait of Emma Hamilton and a self-portrait in 1803 . He then opened an art school in Lübeck and became the young Friedrich Overbeck's first drawing teacher . The turmoil of the French era brought him back to Frankfurt in 1806. Accordingly, his works can be found above all in the museums in Frankfurt, the Hamburger Kunsthalle and in the Behnhaus in Lübeck.
