Portrait of Christian Ludwig von Hagedorn after Anton Graff

Johann Friedrich Bause (3 January 1738 – 5 January 1814) was a German engraver

Life

Bause was born at Halle, in Saxony, in 1738. He is said to have been self-taught as an engraver, and to have formed his manner by an imitation of the prints of J. G. Wille. He died at Weimar in 1814.[1]

Works

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:[1]

  • Damon and Musidora, subject from Thomson; after Bach.
  • A Moonlight Scene; after the same.
  • The Magdalene; from a drawing by Bach, after Batoni.
  • Three Apostles; after Caravaggio; etching.
  • Venus and Cupid; after Carlo Cignani.
  • Michael Ehrlich; after B. Denner; a mezzotint.
  • The Repentance of St. Peter; after Dietrich.
  • The Good Housewife; after G. Dou.
  • Bust of a Girl; after Greuze.
  • Artemisia; after Guido.
  • The Head of Christ; after the same.
  • The Old Confidante; after Kupetsky.
  • Cupid feeling the Point of an Arrow after Mengs.
  • Bust of a Girl, with a Basket of Boses; after Netscher.
  • The Sacrifice of Abraham; after Oeser.
  • La petite Rusée; after Reynolds.

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 Wilhelmine Bause (1768–1837) etched a number of landscapes after Kobell, Both, and other artists.[1]
