Adam Friedrich Oeser

Adam Friedrich Oeser (17 February 1717 in Pressburg – 18 March 1799 in Leipzig) was a German etcher, painter and sculptor.

He went to Dresden in Saxony in 1739, where he studied with Mengs and Dietrich,[1] and created portraits and scenes for the Royal Opera, and mural paintings in Schloss Hubertusburg (1749).

In 1756 Count Heinrich von Bünau commissioned him to decorate the newly built Schloss Dahlen.

His best effort in sculpture is the monument of Elector Frederick Augustus (1780) on the Königsplatz in Leipzig, which he created together with his student and architect Johann Carl Friedrich Dauthe.

In 1766 Oeser became a member of the Masonic Lodge Minerva zu den drei Palmen, Leipzig.
