Johann Beheim

active from 1762 in Milan, Rome and Vienna

Few details are known of the life and work of the painter and etcher, Johann Beheim, who was a member of the close circle around Franz Anton Maulbertsch. He was in Milan in 1762 and in Rome in the following years up to at least 1770. The artist is thought to have mostly lived and worked in Vienna, however, where he produced several reproductive engravings after works by Maulbertsch along with prints after some of his designs. Meyer records a total of just eleven prints by Beheim.
