Kilian Ponheimer the Elder

Kilian Ponheimer (called Kilian Ponheimer the Elder ) (born April 26, 1757 in Vienna ; died August 5, 1828 there ), was an Austrian engraver .

Life

Kilian Ponheimer was the son of Otto Heinrich Ponheimer (1729–1796), a Viennese court musician. His brother was the musician Karl Ponheimer (1770–1806). In 1774 he became a student at the Academy of Fine Arts and was awarded a prize at this academy for a landscape engraved after his teacher Friedrich August Brand . Another teacher of his was Jacob Matthias Schmutzer , who had an influence on his technique. In 1786 Ponheimer furnished the work Beginnings of Muscle Theory by Joseph Barth with numerous tables.

He made landscapes after Brand, Schmutzer, Andreas Magnus Hunglinger, Anton Janscha , Jakob Philipp Hackert , Adam Johann Braun, Martin von Molitor , Franz Edmund Weirotter and others. For the well-known Wiener Kaufruf he created some genre pictures based on models by Georg Emanuel Opiz .

He had three daughters and three sons. Only his son of the same name, Kilian Ponheimer , who was born in 1788 and died in Vienna in 1829, was known.
