JOSEPH GEORG WINTTER
1751 Munich 1789
Electorate Palatinate Bavarian
Court and Hunting Engraver
whose delicate and demanding drawings and water-colours
– more numerous than his only just about 137 mostly smaller etchings –
need great experience .
The contemporary Wilhelm Gottfried von Moser 1788 about Wintter :
“ The drawing is fine, the engraving well ,
always better than Riedinger (sic!) ”
(Forst-Archiv vol. IV).
And 1851 Dr. G. K. Nagler wrote in his Künstler-Lexicon :
“ Winter appears in these drawings in a very advantageous way ,
since they are done quite as beautiful as witty .
His etchings are excellent, too ,
and stand in their treatment between those by Hollar and Riedinger (sic!) . ”

“ Just received the James Figg item safely today. I have a couple questions. Art in general is new to me so I‘m asking you to educate me on this item … First of all I‘m happy with the item, just trying to understand it better … Thanks again ”
