Heinrich Heitz
Born in 1750.
Died in 1835.
Heinrich Heitz is known for his work as a wood engraver and watercolourist. He is particularly associated with works of reinterpretation, having produced reproductions of Hans Holbein’s marginal drawings as part of the illustration of “L'Éloge de la folie” by Erasmus of Rotterdam. His work bears witness to an artistic approach that combines engraving and watercolour, although the details of his career remain partly obscure.
