Jean-Baptiste Fresez

Jean-Baptiste Fresez was a German painter of French origin.

He began his studies at the Luxembourg School of Drawing and then continued at the Royal Academy in Brussels and obtained Luxembourg citizenship. Fresez worked as an engraver and painter at the Villeroy and Boch porcelain factory in Mettlach on the Saar River, and from 1824 he successfully taught at the Luxembourg Drawing School.

Fresez produced beautiful landscapes and very lively portraits. These are mainly of members of the Grand Ducal family and other well-known local personalities. A collection of 30 lithographs was published based on his landscape drawings, which today are considered very valuable in documentary terms, and each of them has a detailed description. Fresez's landscapes are characterized by their almost photographic depictions of the city of Luxembourg. After the publication of this work, he was elected a member of the Archaeological Society of the Grand Duchy.
