Christian Gottlieb Geyser

Christian Gottlieb Geyser (20 August 1742, in Görlitz – 24 March 1803, in Leipzig) was a German painter and copper engraver.

He began his law studies in 1761, at the University of Leipzig, but also took art lessons from Adam Friedrich Oeser.

In 1764, when Oeser became the first Director of the newly founded Academy of Fine Arts, he hired Geyser as an assistant engraving teacher.

His son, Gottlieb Wilhelm Geyser (1789–1865), who also became a graphic artist, later established a studio there.
