Johann Hürlimann
Born in 1793.
Died in 1850.
Johann Hürlimann was an artist whose principal activity was copper engraving. After 1829, he settled in Paris, where he developed his oeuvre. Hürlimann is distinguished by his preference for the aquatint technique, a process that enabled him to explore subtle nuances in his engravings.
His style is often compared with that of Franz Hegis, testifying to the latter’s influence on his work. The details of his career before his move to Paris remain uncertain, leaving questions about his artistic beginnings open.
