Johann Martin Bernigeroth

Johann Martin Bernigeroth was a printmaker active across the early 18th century, with his documented artistic output spanning the years 1704 to 1736. His professional work focused almost entirely on formal portraiture, serving to commemorate prominent political, scholarly, and ecclesiastical figures of the era.

Evidence of Bernigeroth's practice is preserved in major European institutions. Fifteen of his prints are represented in museum collections, including important holdings at the Rijksmuseum. These works demonstrate the detailed engraving techniques required for commissioned likenesses.

Notable prints held in collections include the Portret van Camille d'Hostun, duc de Tallard and the Portret van Johann Hugo von Orsbeck, keurvorst en aartsbisschop van Trier. Other documented works feature prominent scholars, such as the Portret van Wolfgang Melchior Stisser and the Portret van Burkhard Gotthelf Struve.

As historical works, many surviving Johann Martin Bernigeroth prints have entered the public domain. These detailed, museum-quality engravings often circulate as high-quality prints and downloadable artwork, offering important visual documentation of early 18th-century European elite.
