Johann Elias Ridinger

149 works

In Regensburg, Johann Elias Ridinger spent three years whose coursing and riding school visits proved decisive for his art.

Born in Ulm in 1698, he trained there and in Augsburg, where he learned engraving from Georg Philipp Rugendas. Shortly after his marriage in 1723, he founded his own art publishing house in Augsburg. His firm made nearly 1,600 prints, and 1,200 of them show animals. He died in Augsburg in 1767, and his sons Martin Elias and Johann Jakob kept printing from his original copperplates.
