Johann Georg Puschner
1680–1749
Johann Georg Puschner was a printmaker who was active in Nuremberg, Germany. The son of a blacksmith, he was also an astronomer. He is best known for his copperplate engravings of the town and university of Altdorf and for landscapes of Nuremberg. He maintained a workshop with his son, who was also named Johann Georg, so it is not always possible to determine which one was the artist of a particular work.
