Eduard von Jenner
Born in 1830.
Died in 1917.
Eduard von Jenner was an artist whose practice encompassed painting and wood sculpture. Between 1864 and 1881, he served as curator at the Bern City Library, before becoming curator of the Bern Antiquarium and subsequently of the Historical Museum. His work includes copies of miniatures from codices, attesting to an interest in the preservation and restoration of older works.
He is also recognised for his skills as a conservator-restorer, although the details of his interventions remain uncertain.
