Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig

Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig was an artist active in the graphic arts and drawing, with a documented working period spanning twenty years, from 1825 to 1845. His oeuvre, as represented in major institutions, consists primarily of 13 prints and 2 drawings.

The work of Linnig is held in significant museum collections, notably the Rijksmuseum. This body of work provides insight into his engagement with academic and institutional themes, as illustrated by two copies of the Diploma van de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten van Antwerpen. His subjects ranged widely, encompassing religious narratives, such as Engelen brengen het Heilig Huis naar Loreto, and detailed landscapes. The latter is exemplified by topographical works like Landschap met lage brug over een stroom en een vervallen landhuis op de achtergrond and Landschap met paardenkar.

Fifteen works attributed to Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig are currently represented in museum holdings. Due to their age, many of these historical images are now in the public domain, allowing institutions to provide access to high-quality prints and downloadable artwork. These surviving examples of Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig prints remain valuable resources for studying early 19th-century graphic techniques.
