SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Johann Christian Brand trained with his father, Christian Hilfgott Brand, and then at the Vienna Academy. A landscape specialist, he taught drawing in this genre from 1772. His practice encompassed painting and printmaking. A small etching of 1786 at the Wien Museum, River Landscape, bears an inscription stating that it was made from nature; the sheet measures only 7.5 by 9.2 centimetres.
His paintings explore other scales and supports. Coastal Village of 1768 in the Liechtenstein Princely Collections is a large oil on canvas, signed “Brand le jeune”. In the same collection, Mountain Landscape with Fishermen is painted on zinc. Its acquisition by Prince Alois I in 1787 attests to Brand’s presence in the aristocratic collections of his own time.
This profile brings together identity references for Johann Christian Brand and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
