Er stach an die 150 Porträts berühmter Persönlichkeiten, wozu er oft Vorlagen anderer Künstler benutzte. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen Kupferstichporträts von Martin Luther, Johannes Bugenhagen, des Königs von Sachsen und von Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni.

Historical Description | Fernand Braudel remarked, ;Historians of Lyon are not sufficiently aware of the bi-polarity between Paris and Lyon, which is a constant structure in French development...from the late Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution;.In the late 15th century, the fairs introduced by Italian merchants made Lyon the economic countinghouse of France. Even the Bourse (treasury), built in 1749, resembled a public bazaar where accounts were settled in the open air. When international banking moved to Genoa, then Amsterdam, Lyon remained the banking centre of France In 1572, Lyon was a scene of mass violence by Catholics against Protestant Huguenots in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacres. |
