Louis Wilhelm Chodowiecki

Louis Wilhelm Chodowiecki is documented as an artist active during the year 1771. His recognized output consists primarily of Louis Wilhelm Chodowiecki prints, suggesting a practice centered on illustration or fine art engraving during the late eighteenth century.

Seven of his individual prints are currently represented in major museum collections, establishing the historical and technical merit of his work. These prints are held by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The surviving catalog of his work includes specific compositions such as Astolfo wordt terechtgewezen, Orlando en zijn gevechtspartner raken te water, and Orlando laat in razernij een spoor van vernieling achter. Other documented works include Orlando krijgt gedwongen het geneesmiddel door Astolfo toegediend and Orlando wijst naar zijn dode paard in de verte.

The preservation of Chodowiecki’s images in institutional holdings ensures their continued study. These museum-quality works, often serving as invaluable historical records, are now widely accessible. Today, many of these historical images reside in the public domain, often available as downloadable artwork for research purposes.
