Jeremias Wolff

Jeremias Wolff (1667-1724) was a prolific Augsburg publisher and print dealer, known for issuing extensive series of engravings encompassing anatomy, ornament, architecture, and figure studies.

Executed with confident cross-hatching and stippling, this series is characteristic of the academic life-study tradition that flourished in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, when such prints served as essential training tools for artists.

Originally a watchmaker, Jeremias Wolff (1667-1724) became the most successful Augsburg publisher of his day. Although not a master engraver, most of the plates produced by his publishing house bear only his name. The publishing house was continued by his pupil and son-in-law Johann Balthasar Probst (1673-1750), and later by his sons under the name Jeremias Wolff Erben.
