WETZEL, Johann Jakob.
Voyage Pittoresque au Lac des Waldstettes, ou des IV Cantons.
Johann Jakob Wetzel (1781-1834) was a Swiss 19th-century artist who was born in 1781. Wetzel was one of the leading Swiss landscape painters of the Romantic era, the popularity of whose work meant that a whole staff of aquatint engravers was employed in imitating his watercolour drawings. Wetzel trained under his fellow Swiss artists Johann Heinrich Bleuler, Johann Walser, and Gabriel Lory.
