Johann Leonhard Raab

Johann Leonhard Raab was a German engraver and etcher who lived from 1825 to 1899 within the Kingdom of Bavaria. His professional life encompassed roles as a teacher and university teacher alongside his artistic practice in copper engraving and etching. Raab studied under the artist Samuel Amsler, a mentorship that informed his technical approach.
