Nikolaus Innocentius Wilhelm Clemens Heideloff (* 1761 in Stuttgart , † 1837 in The Hague ) was a German etcher and engraver.

Life

His father was Carl Heideloff (1737–1803) from the Stuttgart court golfer. His mother was Theresia Malterre (1731–1779), a daughter of Peter Heinrich Malterre (or Malter), who was employed as a dance master at the Karlsschule. The couple's 8 children included the painter Viktor Heideloff , the sculptor and painter Heinrich Heideloff , the painter Carl Heideloff (1770–1816) and the painter and gilder Jean Heideloff.

He was a student of Johann Gotthard von Müller and was trained at the Hohen Karlsschule . As a retiree of Duke Carl, he came to Paris , where he continued his studies under Charles Clément Bervic . Bervic gave him, among other things, the order to make a portrait of King Louis XVI. to sting. After the outbreak of the French Revolution, Heideloff destroyed the record for this work and fled to England with the help of a friend. He stayed in London for the next 30 years . There he published the Gallery of Fashion , which appeared monthly from 1794 to 1803. It was considered to be the most luxurious fashion magazine of its time. In 1815 Wilhelm I, King of the Netherlands , appointed him director of the picture gallery in The Hague.

One of his early works is an etching based on a drawing by Viktor Heideloff depicting a hunt at Bear Lake . This show hunt, during which 6000 game animals were driven into the lake and shot down, was organized in honor of the Russian heir apparent who were guests in Württemberg for ten days from September 17, 1782 . The picture contains one of the few representations of the first figure of the Bärenschlössle , as it existed in the time of Carl Eugen .
