Christoph Joseph Werner I.

Christoph Joseph Werner I. was an artist known for his work as a miniaturist and portraitist. He moved to Dresden with his wife, Anna Maria Werner, where he practised his art.
From 1728, he was appointed Saxon court painter, a position that attests to his integration into the artistic milieu of the period. The details of his career and works remain partly obscure, leaving questions about his impact and recognition in the artistic landscape of the eighteenth century.
