Heinrich Jenny
ARTISTEnthroned on the heights of history is Heinrich Jenny, a master of pen and brush, born on July 2, 1824 in the idyllic village of Langenbruck. His life - a treasure map, peppered with fragments of the past, which are merged into a magnificent mosaic of his work. After tragic family circumstances that led to his father's emigration, he found a refuge in art, interwoven in his heart like the fine thread of a tapestry. His eager fingers painted and drew ceaselessly, despite the humble circumstances of his employment in a posament store in Basel. The flame of passion for art continued to blaze in Jenny, leading him through a variety of paths. His destinations were varied and interspersed with the fine strokes of unpredictability - apprentice mechanic in Horgen, unsteady itinerant portraitist, faithful illustrator of the "Postheiri". These places were stages on which he showed off his art, laying the foundation for the quality that is so appreciated in our high-quality art prints today.
