Konrad Horny

After 1785, he lived in Weimar where, in 1789, he became a teacher at the Princely Free Drawing School.

In 1793, he accompanied Goethe back to his hometown, then known as the Republic of Mainz, to witness a siege there, maintained by the French Army.

In 1801, when the government there made it easier to obtain concessions, he was awarded one to open his own art and book publishing business.

[2] He occasionally worked in collaboration with Georg Melchior Kraus.

Much of his work involves ancient Italian landscapes, in the Classical style, which were his specialty as a porcelain painter.
