Franz Hegi

Franz Hegi was a Swiss painter and engraver.

The young artist Franz Hegi learned in Zurich the new technique of aquatint, which had just been invented, and successfully applied his skills.

Hegi created many engravings and aquatints for almanacs and books. His paintings of city panoramas, harbors and gates of Zurich are now a valuable source for the history of Switzerland in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
