Joseph Wagner

Joseph Wagner was an eighteenth century Austrian engraver and printseller. Born in Thalendorf, he became a longtime pupil, friend, and partner with Italian painter Jacopo Amigoni. Wagner spent seven years in London during the 1730s where he was one of the city's leading engravers. In 1739, he moved to Venice where he continued as an engraver, while also managing a workshop with numerous pupils, and carrying on a considerable business as a printseller. His engravings include portraits, sacred subjects, mythology, and landscapes. He received a privilege granted by the Venetian Senate in 1750. His workshop became the most prominent center of engravings in 18th-century Venice.
