      Artist Biography

      The Life and Career of Joseph Saunders

      Joseph Saunders, also known as Józef Saunders, was a versatile English engraver, illustrator, publisher, and professor of fine art. His professional journey spanned several major European centers, including London, United Kingdom, Saint Petersburg, Russia, and Wilno. After arriving in Russia between 1794 and 1796, he eventually became the "imperial engraver" and "Historical Court Engraver" at the Hermitage. His academic recognition extended across borders, as he was a member of the Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts and the Stockholm Arts Academy.

      In 1810, Saunders transitioned into a significant academic role as the Professor of Fine Art at Wilno University. In this capacity, he lectured on the history of art and English literature, designing a curriculum that spanned from ancient Egypt through to contemporary European art. His teaching was noted for its breadth, covering extra-European art from India, Persia, and Jewish traditions.

      Beyond his graphic work, Saunders was a published author, contributing to a paper on the life and work of the Polish baroque painter Szymon Czechowicz and publishing a collection of his own poetry titled The Magnetic Diary.
