Johann Friedrich Bause (3 January 1738 in Halle - 5 January 1814, Weimar) was a German copper engraver; primarily of portraits.
He was born to Christian Gottlieb Bause (b.1696), supervisor of the Halle saltworks, and his wife, Sophia Elisabeth née Dryander (1705-1761). [1] He was initially self-taught. In 1759, he briefly worked in Augsburg, under the direction of Johann Jacob Haid. His inspiration came from the German expatriate engraver, Johann Georg Wille. While in Augsburg, he also made the acquaintance of portrait painter, Anton Graff.
In 1763, he married Henriette Charlotte Brünner, and they had two daughters. The eldest, Friederike Charlotte , had a talent for music, but died when she was only nineteen. The younger, Juliane Wilhelmine, married the banker, Karl Eberhard Löhr (1763–1813), son of the banker Eberhard Heinrich Löhr , in Leipzig. [2] She also became an engraver and painter. [3]
He moved from Halle to Leipzig in 1766, where he was named a Professor of copper engraving at the new Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst, and specialized in portraits. He also joined the famous Freemasons lodge, Minerva zu den drei Palmen . In 1786, he was named an honorary member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts. [4]
His final engraving was made in 1809, when his eyesight was beginning to wane. In 1813, he followed Juliane (who had recently been widowed) to Weimar, when she was expelled from her estate by General Jean Toussaint Arrighi de Casanova, the French Governor of Leipzig.
His works, which are very numerous, are chiefly executed with the graver, which he handled with great purity and firmness. The following are his principal plates, except his portraits, which are chiefly of German characters of little celebrity:* [5]
A list of his works may be found in Nagler and Heineken. See also Dr. G. Keil's Katalog des Kupferstichwerkes von Johann Friedrich Bause, Leipzig, 1849. His daughter, Juliane, etched a number of landscapes after Kobell, Both, and other artists. [5]
