Filip Jindřich Müller
Philipp Heinrich Müller (1654-1719) was one of the most famous medallists of the end of the seventeenth century and early part of the eighteenth. He was born in Augsburg where, under the protection and patronage of the Augsburg town councillor, Leonhard Weiss, he began the art of medal engraving. Indeed, one of Müller's earliest medallic productions was a portrait of Leonhard Weiss, made in 1677. In addition to the mints at Augsburg, Müller worked at the Mints at Nuremberg and Salzburg, among others. As such his medals became known and admired all over Europe, and they belong to the best of the time. He executed portraits of most of the rulers and princes of his period, and commemorative medals depicting important events in contemporary German history as well as those connected with other countries, including Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Russia, and the Republic of Venice. Müller also made a large number of dies for striking draughtsmen in wood, which even excel the silver medals.
