a German painter and engraver. In his early works, the Old Master was a big focus of his work. Influenced by Franz Krüger and Johann Gottfried Schadow, Buchhorn soon found a unique style and worked in his later works increasingly from nature. Between 1790 and 1793 Buchhorn was at the Academy of the Arts, Berlin. In addition to aquatint and lithography, Buchhorn adopted from his teachers a Crayon style. In 1806 Buchhorn settled in Berlin and worked again with the Academy. He took over as the Kakademie Ordinary Member in 1811, where he served three years later as a lecturer in drawing and engraving. In the same year Buchhorn founded with some colleagues the Berlinische Artists' Association.
