Self-portrait with Easel (c.1760)

Johann Anton Tischbein (28 August 1720, Haina - 26 July 1784, Hamburg) was a German painter and art teacher from the Tischbein family of artists.

Biography

[edit]

He was the fourth son of the baker, Johann Heinrich Tischbein (1682-1784), five of whose eight children became painters. After a short time at school, he worked as a carpenter in Frankfurt.[1] Later, he went to Paris to learn the art of wallpaper painting, which was very popular among the aristocracy at that time. When his studies were completed, he set up a studio in Frankfurt.

In 1749, he and his brother Johann Heinrich took a study trip to Italy. For many years thereafter, he created oil paintings based on the sketches and watercolors made during that trip.

In 1764, he moved to Hamburg, opened a private art school and was married in 1766.[1] Five years later, he wrote a textbook on painting (Unterricht zu gründlicher Erlernung der Malerey) which, in 1780, earned him a place as an instructor at the Gelehrtenschule des Johanneums.[1] He also painted several murals at Wandsbek Castle, which was demolished in 1861.

A street is named after him in Hamburg's Barmbek-Nord district.
