AMSLER, SAMUEL (17911849)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 896 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
AMSLER, SAMUEL (17911849) , Swiss engraver, was born at Schinznach, in the
canton
  of Aargau. He studied his art under Johan Heinrich Lips (17581817) and Karl Ernst Hess, at
Munich
 , and from 1816 pursued it in Italy, and chiefly at Rome, till in 1829 he succeeded his former master Hess as professor of copper engraving in the
Munich
 
academy
 . The works he designed and engraved are remarkable for the grace of the figures, and for the wonderful skill with which he retains and expresses the characteristics of the
original
  paintings and statues. He was a passionate admirer of Raphael, and had
great
  success in reproducing his works. Amsler's
principal
  engravings are: " The Triumphal
March
  of Alexander the
Great
 ," and a full-length " Christ," after the sculptures of Thorwaldsen and Dannecker; the " Entombment of Christ," and two " Madonnas " after Raphael; and the "
Union
  between Religion and the Arts," after Overbeck, his last
work
 , on which he spent six years.
