Johann Scheidegger
Born in 1777.
Died in 1858.
Johann Scheidegger was an artist whose principal activity centred on landscape painting. Although little detailed information is available about his oeuvre, his engagement with this artistic genre attests to a sensitivity to nature and its representations. Landscapes, often favoured by painters of his time, made it possible to explore the interactions between human beings and their environment, as well as variations in light and colour.
Scheidegger’s career, although less well known, belongs to the context of an era in which landscape painting experienced a certain degree of growth.
