JACOBY, PHILIPPE JOSEPH (Belg.). Die-sinker of the eighteenth century ; he was born in 1708 and at the age of 14 was placed in apprenticeship to an Engraver of the name of L. de Thier, at Cologne. Five years after he settled at Liége, his native town, where he produced some good work as a Line-engraver, and was employed in that capacity and as a Medallist by the Prince-Bishops of Liége John Theodore of Bavaria, Charles d'Oultremont, Francis Charles van Velbruck and Constantine Francis van Hoensbrouck, during the greater part of the second half of the eighteenth century. He died on September 23, 1794. Pinchart remarks that in the few medals he has produced, Jacoby showed imagination, but that his drawing is very defective and that his engraving leaves also much to be desired. By this Engraver are : Portrait-medal of John Theodore of Bavaria, Prince-Bishop of Liége (signed : P. I. IACOBY) ; — Portraitmedal of Charles of Oultremont, Prince-Bishop of Liége (signed : JACOBI or JA. F.); — Another, of 1764; — Foundation of the Academy of Painting at Liége, 1765; — Society of Emulation, The Academy of Painting and Sculpture (2 types, one dated 1785) ; — Portrait-Medal of Constantine Francis van Hoensbrouck, Prince- Bishop of Liége. In 1763, Jacoby was appointed Mint-engraver at Liége, a post which he retained until 1788, when he was succeeded by Leonard Jéhotte. Bibliography. — Bon de Chestret de Haneffe, Notice sur P. J.
