Tobias Laub
Tobias Laub (born June 9, 1685 (baptism) in Augsburg , † January 2, 1761 ibid) was a German painter and engraver ( mezzotint artist ).
Life
Tobias Link was the son of the Protestant pastor Georg Laub (1676–1686), who had been pastor of St. Ulrich in Augsburg since 1678 , where he was baptized on June 9, 1685. He was a student of the Augsburg painter and draftsman Isaac Fisches . In 1709 he married, in 1710 he acquired the painter justice (ie approval of the guild). In 1734 he married a second time and in 1758 went blind.
He painted almost exclusively portraits, especially of pastors and personalities of the Protestant society of Augsburg, and made mezzotints.
According to the Augsburg painter's book, his only two apprentices were Johann Matthias Beck and Gabriel Spitzel ; there is no evidence of Johann Simon Negges's student body there.
