JACHTMANN, JOHANN LUDWIG (Germ.). Medallist, born at Berlin in 1776, where he died in 1842. " This Engraver ", says Bolzenthal, " learned the art of Stierle; however in style and composition he progressed with the age, as we may perceive by his medals of reward for Arts and Sciences, struck to commemorate the third centenary of Alb. Dürer, and the Prize medal of the Royal Academy of Arts. He always endeavoured to produce something better than the last. For some time, Jachtmann endeavoured to execute a medal in the old way of casting, for which he spared neither time nor trouble ; the attempt was successful, and it was a medal designed for the Academy of Munster. He also executed large dies for seals, which he engraved in steel with much taste, after he had devoted some time to the study of the master-pieces of the middle ages ". Jachtmann is the author of the following medals : Third centenary of the Reformation, 1839; — Prize Medal for Arts and Sciences, 1814, with bust of King Frederick William III. ; — Another, of different type ; — Portrait-medals of King Frederick William IV., (two types); — Third centenary of Martin Luther. R. Bust of Calvln, 1817; — Jubilee Medal of C.H.V. Klevenow of Magdeburg, 1820; — Jubilee Medal of I. D. Woldermann, 1823; — Portrait-medal of Frederick the Great; — Blucher's Monument at Rostock, 1819 (2 var.) ; — Joseph Zerboni di Sposetti (1822); — Dr Johann Christian Reil of Berlin, 1813; — Dr Georg Heinrich Weber, Kiel, 1813, &c.
