Jean-Baptiste Fresez (1800-1877), Luxembourg's most influential 19th-century painter, was Jean-Baptiste Fresez (1800-1976).
He is best known for his nearly photographic photos of Luxembourg's city.
Early life
Fresez, a ten-year-old boy from Longwy, immigrated to Luxembourg City with his parents in 1802 as his father began to work at the Sept-Fontaines porcelain factory in the Rollingergrund. He attended the Luxembourg Drawing School where he was first crowned the first prize when he was 14 years old before enrolling in art at the Royal Academy in Brussels. Fresez, a German immigrant, gained Luxembourg nationality in 1848.
Career
After graduating, he worked as an engraver and painter at the Villeroy and Boch porcelain factory in Mettlach on the River Saar. He was also charged with giving art lessons to François Boch's children. He returned to Luxembourg after his father died in 1817, where he gained his apprenticeship in an architect's office. He was able to save up for his art and sculpture training at the Royal Academy in Brussels, where he was granted a diploma encouraging him to become an art teacher. He began teaching at the Luxembourg Drawing School first and then at the prestigious Athénée from 1824. Pierre Brandebourg, a painter and photographer, as well as illustrator Michel Engels, were among his most notable students. He spent all of his holidays in Antwerp, studying the grand masters of 1826 to a degree from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. He invented an innovative art teaching method at Athénée, which was welcomed by the school and made it a mandatory subject for the majority of students.
Fresez published his thoughts of Luxembourg City, assisted Nicolas Liez with his album, and in 1857, he published his own Album pittoresque du Grand-Duché dedicated to Prince Henry of the Netherlands. The collection includes a series of lithographs based on 30 of his best drawings, all of which are considered of high documentary value. Fresez became a member of the Grand-Duché Archeological Society (Société archéologique du Grand-Duché) and the Brussels Institute of Fine Arts (Institut des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles). He died in Luxembourg City on March 31, 1867.
