Conrad Westermayr

After 1791, Westermayr studied in Weimar, with the copper engraver, Johann Heinrich Lips.In 1800, he returned to Weimar and married Henriette Stötzer [de], an artist who had also worked for Bertuch.The old city gates were demolished that year, and his drawings provide the only visual record of them.In 1808, he became a member of the Wetterauische Gesellschaft [de], a scientific society, for which he drew minerals and other natural objects.Despite these activities, his focus was on promoting his students, one of which was Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, considered to be one of the first modern Jewish painters.
