Ferdinand Piloty
Ferdinand Piloty (28 August 1786, in Homburg – 8 January 1844, in Munich) was a German lithographer.[1] He was the father of genre artist Karl von Piloty.
Early life and works[]
He initially studied painting, but his interests soon switched to lithography. From 1808 to 1815, with Johann Nepomuk Strixner (1782–1855), he produced a series of 423 lithographs, titled Les oeuvres lithographiques par Strixner, Piloty et Comp..[2] From 1836, with Joseph Löhle (1807–1840), he produced a series of copies from the Alte Pinakothek and the Schleissheim Gallery. Following the death of Gottlieb Bodmer in 1837, Piloty and Löhle continued publication of his works.[3]
