Germany is the place where people named Ziesenis and the artist family Ziesenis were born. Accordingly this section is mainly dedicated to the German members of the artist family Ziesenis including artists related to them. Further this section refers to later German Ziesenis artists.
The German artist family Ziesenis consisted of painters and sculptors.
Dietrich Zisenis (±1645-1698), the progenitor of the artist family Ziesenis in the city of Hannover, brought up four sons of which the third, called
Johann Jürgen Ziesenis (1680-1748), became painter and worked at the royal court at Copenhagen. He had nine children of which
Johann Georg Ziesenis (1716-1776) and
Christian Friedrich Ziesenis (1729-1792) lived as painters in Germany. Other painters of he German artist family Ziesenis have been
Maria Elisabeth Ziesenis (1744-1796), who worked with her father
Johann Georg Ziesenis , and
Heinrich Dietrich Kruse (1676-1733), a son-in-law of
Dietrich Ziesenis . In an unknown way, the decorative painter
Ludwig Ziesenis (17..-17..) is also part of the family.
The sculptors of the Ziesenis family were Dietrich's first son Johann Conrad Ziesenis (1671-1727), his youngest son Johann Heinrich Ludwig Ziesenis (1686-1765) and the later court sculptor in Hannover Johann Friedrich Ziesenis (1715-1787), son of Johann Heinrich Ludwig Ziesenis .
How
Anthonie Ziesenis (1731-1801) the city sculptor of Amsterdam and progenitor of the Dutch part of the artist family Ziesenis is related to them, is still unclear.
Through his second wife and mother of his children, Dietrich Zisenis became related to the Lohmann family of tinware makers of which the Hanoverian sculptor Johann Heinrich Lohmann (1650-1693) became teacher of his eldest son Johann Conrad Ziesenis. A nephew of his grandson Johann Friedrich Ziesenis was the draughtsman Christoph Heinrich Kniep (1755-1825) who accompanied the famous Goethe on his trip through Sicily.
Johann Wilhelm Ziesenis (±1762-1809), a presumable son of
Christian Friedrich Ziesenis, established a late unknown family of painters in Bremen. An elder brother of his wife, the stone-mason and sculptor
Andreas Beling, had been pupil and assistant of the Dutch city sculptor
Anthonie Ziesenis for about nine years.
Aside the artist family Ziesenis several other men named Ziesenis or Zieseniss became painters or sculptors in later times. Since the knowledge of their lifes and works is rare or lacking, information to these artists is still subject to research.
