Johann Alexander Thiele
Johann Alexander Thiele was a German landscape painter and printmaker.
He was trained as a printmaker and received his initial training as a painter in Erfurt, but for the most part remained self-taught, copying old paintings.
Thiele painted mainly rural landscapes of Saxony and Thuringia, partly in imitation of the Italian vedettes. He also worked as a court painter and engraver.
Johann Alexander Thiele's son Johann Friedrich Alexander Thiele (1747-1803) also became a landscape painter, draftsman and printmaker.
