The work follows the conventions of eighteenth-century academic portraiture, presenting the subject within a formal oval frame set atop a stone plinth. The plinth bears a Latin inscription detailing the subject's titles and dates, a common feature in commemorative prints of this period intended for scholarly or biographical collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernigeroth employs precise line work to render the textures of the subject's attire and the voluminous, curled wig characteristic of the era. The shading within the oval frame creates a sense of depth, while the background behind the frame is filled with horizontal hatching, a technique that directs the viewer's focus toward the central figure. The artist demonstrates a high level of technical control, particularly in the modulation of light across the facial features and the soft folds of the cravat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a member of a prominent family of engravers based in Leipzig, Bernigeroth produced numerous portraits of academics, theologians, and public figures. These prints were often included in books or distributed as individual sheets to document the appearance of notable individuals. The composition is balanced and restrained, reflecting the formal requirements of portraiture during the mid-eighteenth century. The print provides a clear example of the graphic traditions that supported the dissemination of intellectual and professional identities in Europe before the advent of photography. The clarity of the lines and the structured layout of the text block demonstrate the functional nature of such engravings, which served both as historical records and as examples of the engraver's craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johann Martin Bernigeroth","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443156128079,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443161010511,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443161043279,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443161076047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443161108815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443161141583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443161174351,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443161207119,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443161239887,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443161272655,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443161305423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443161338191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Christian-Johannes-Langius_Poster_CompositorV1_1786218914569.jpg?v=1786406864"},{"product_id":"portret-van-paus-benedictus-xiv-johann-martin-bernigeroth","title":"Portret van paus Benedictus XIV - Johann Martin Bernigeroth","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal 1740 engraving by Johann Martin Bernigeroth depicting Pope Benedict XIV, featuring traditional papal symbols and precise cross-hatching techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Johann Martin Bernigeroth depicts Pope Benedict XIV, who reigned from 1740 until 1758. The work is a formal portrait, executed with the technical precision characteristic of eighteenth-century German printmaking. The Pope is shown within an oval frame, a common convention for ecclesiastical portraiture of the period, which provides a sense of dignity and focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernigeroth employs a rigorous system of cross-hatching to define the textures of the papal vestments and the subtle modelling of the subject's face. The composition includes traditional symbols of the papacy, such as the keys of Saint Peter resting on a cushion and the processional cross held to the left of the figure. A small heraldic shield is positioned in the upper right corner, adding a layer of identification and formality to the image. The base of the print features an inscription identifying the subject and the year of his election, 1740, which anchors the work in a specific historical moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a printmaker active in Leipzig, Bernigeroth produced numerous portraits of contemporary figures, often for use in books or as standalone commemorative sheets. This piece demonstrates his ability to translate the formal qualities of oil painting into the medium of engraving. The lines are controlled and deliberate, creating a clear distinction between the light and shadow across the subject's features. The overall effect is one of academic restraint, typical of the mid-eighteenth-century approach to portraiture.

Bernigeroth, a skilled engraver active in Leipzig during the mid-eighteenth century, produced numerous portraits of clergy, scholars, and nobility. His work reflects the technical precision common to the period, utilising fine lines and cross-hatching to model the subject's features and the texture of his clerical attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeinson is shown in a traditional bust-length format, wearing a large, curled periwig and a pleated ruff collar. The composition is formal, typical of eighteenth-century portraiture intended for academic or ecclesiastical documentation. The background features a subtle, grid-like pattern of hatching, which pushes the figure forward and provides a neutral setting for the sitter. Below the portrait, the inscription identifies the subject as a Doctor of Theology and pastor at St. Peter and St. Paul in Hamburg, providing context for his professional status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraving demonstrates the disciplined approach of the Bernigeroth workshop. The artist employs a variety of line weights to differentiate between the soft curls of the wig, the crisp folds of the ruff, and the darker, heavier fabric of the clerical robes. This attention to material quality is a hallmark of the era's printmaking, where the engraver sought to replicate the appearance of oil painting through the limitations of the copper plate. The print remains a clear example of the portraiture traditions that circulated among the educated classes of Northern Europe during the Enlightenment, serving as a visual record of influential figures within the church hierarchy.

This print offers a view into the visual culture of the German Enlightenment, where portraiture functioned as a means of documenting lineage and personal history.

The print serves as a record of the visual culture of the period, reflecting the importance of the printed image in documenting the lives of officials and scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johann Martin Bernigeroth","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443219632463,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443229233487,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443229266255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443229299023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443229331791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443229364559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443229397327,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443229430095,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443229462863,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443229495631,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443229528399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443229561167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Johann-Gottfried-von-Mayern_Poster_CompositorV1_1786222317992.jpg?v=1786408476"},{"product_id":"johann-gunther-johann-martin-bernigeroth","title":"Johann Günther - Johann Martin Bernigeroth","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century copperplate engraving by Johann Martin Bernigeroth, depicting the clergyman Johann Günther in his official robes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis copperplate engraving by Johann Martin Bernigeroth depicts Johann Günther, an Archidiaconus at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Bernigeroth, a prolific engraver based in Leipzig, was known for his technical precision in portraiture, often documenting the clergy and academic figures of the mid-eighteenth century. The composition follows the conventions of the period: the subject is presented in a three-quarter view, wearing the traditional clerical robes and a ruff collar, which denote his ecclesiastical status.

The work remains a clear example of the professional standards maintained by German engravers during this period, providing a window into the life of a Dresden official.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johann Martin Bernigeroth","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443269538127,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443284119887,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443284152655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443284185423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443284218191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443284250959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443284283727,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443284316495,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443284349263,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443284382031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443284414799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443284447567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Burckhardt-Lebrecht-Behrisch_Poster_CompositorV1_1786223116795.jpg?v=1786409278"},{"product_id":"portrait-bust-of-fyodor-matveyevich-apraksin-johann-martin-bernigeroth","title":"Portrait Bust of Fyodor Matveyevich Apraksin - Johann Martin Bernigeroth","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn eighteenth-century engraving by Johann Martin Bernigeroth depicting the Russian General Admiral Fyodor Matveyevich Apraksin as a classical bust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Johann Martin Bernigeroth depicts Fyodor Matveyevich Apraksin, a prominent Russian statesman and the first General Admiral of the Russian Navy. The composition presents the subject as a classical bust, a common convention in eighteenth-century portraiture intended to convey authority and historical permanence. Apraksin is shown in profile, wearing armour draped with a mantle, which reflects his military status and the martial aesthetic of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the bust, the artist includes a detailed coat of arms, which serves to identify the subject and denote his noble rank. The inscription at the base, written in German, confirms his identity and title as a General Admiral. Bernigeroth employs precise line work to define the textures of the subject's wig, the metallic sheen of the armour, and the delicate heraldic elements of the crest. The background features subtle cross-hatching, which creates a sense of depth without distracting from the primary figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernigeroth was a skilled printmaker based in Leipzig, known for his contributions to biographical and historical documentation through portraiture. His work often appeared in books and collections that aimed to catalogue the figures of the European aristocracy and military elite. This print demonstrates the technical rigour of the era, where the engraver had to translate the nuances of light and shadow into a system of lines and dots. The result is a formal, balanced image that adheres to the conventions of academic portraiture. It provides a clear visual record of a figure who played a significant role in the development of the Russian naval forces under Peter the Great and his successors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johann Martin Bernigeroth","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443274158415,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443280548175,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443280580943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443280613711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443280646479,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443280679247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443280712015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443280744783,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443280777551,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443280810319,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443280843087,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443280875855,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-Bust-of-Fyodor-Matveyevich-Apraksin_Poster_CompositorV1_1786223477473.jpg?v=1786409409"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/collections\/johann-martin-bernigeroth.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
