HEEL, JOHANN (Germ.). Bolzenthal gives the following notice of this Engraver, who worked during the second half of the seventeenth century, and died in 1709. "Johann Heel of Augsburg established himself in Nuremberg for some time ; he was an excellent goldsmith, and Doppelmayr expressly places him among the casters of coins, without however mentioning any of his works. We are inclined to agree with Möhsen, and to consider Heel as the author of a medal with the portrait of the physician Gregor Hilling, 1670, at which time Heel had taken up his abode at Nuremberg. " Migne, Dictionnaire d'Orf?vrerie chrétienne, p. 922, mentions Heel, as a Goldsmith and Engraver, who worked at Nuremberg, circa 1664, 1665, and produced several pieces of religious plate.
