János Mihály Hesz
Eger 18.09.1768 — Vienna 20.07.1836
János Mihály Hesz was a Hungarian painter, etching artist and university lecturer.
Between 1791 and 1794, János Mihály Hesz studied at the art academy in Vienna. After his studies, he taught painting and drawing at the academy.
Art historians emphasise the "academic classicism" of Hes's paintings. The influence of Italian Mannerism can be felt in his later religious paintings and altarpieces.
