Johann Heinrich Bleuler

Johann Heinrich Bleuler, the Elder (31 December 1758 – 25 January 1823) was a Swiss artist who worked with porcelain, landscape sketches and gouache.

He was born in Zollikon and initially trained as a porcelain painter at the Porzellanmanufaktur Kilchberg-Schooren [de] near Zürich.

He catered to the popular tastes of the time; often in the style of Ludwig Hess, who had died prematurely.

Much of his art involved gouache landscapes and panoramic views of Swiss cities.

His eldest son, Johann Heinrich Bleuler, the Younger (1787–1857) specialized in painting vedute.
