JOSEPH  GEORG  WINTTER
1751 Munich 1789

whose delicate and demanding drawings and water-colours
–  more numerous than his only just about 137 mostly smaller etchings  –

need  great  experience .

The contemporary Wilhelm Gottfried von Moser 1788 about Wintter :

“ The  drawing  is  fine,  the  engraving  well ,
always  better  than  Riedinger  (sic!) ”
(Forst-Archiv vol. IV).

And 1851 Dr. G. K. Nagler wrote in his Künstler-Lexikcon :

“ Winter appears in these drawings in a very advantageous way ,
since they are done quite as beautiful as witty .
His etchings are excellent, too ,
and stand in their treatment between those by Hollar and Riedinger (sic!) . ”
