## About Johann Wilhelm Weinmann

Johann Wilhelm Weinmann is identified in the collected sources as an apothecary and botanist associated with Phytanthoza iconographia, a major botanical publishing project created between 1737 and 1745. The work comprised eight folio volumes and more than 1,000 hand-coloured engravings depicting several thousand plants. This combination of botanical study, print production, and extensive visual documentation explains why collectors may encounter Weinmann’s name in connection with historical botanical imagery and works on paper. Getty ULAN, VIAF, RKD, and Wikidata provide independent authority records that help distinguish this historical figure in catalogues and collection data. The available source pack does not securely establish a nationality, complete life dates, or a formal artistic movement, so those details should not be inferred. His clearest documented context is the production of an ambitious illustrated botanical publication rather than membership in a named art movement.

## Common works and media

The most securely documented works associated with Weinmann are hand-coloured botanical engravings produced for Phytanthoza iconographia. The publication’s eight folio volumes contained more than 1,000 engraved images covering several thousand plants. In appraisal and auction contexts, works attributed to Weinmann should therefore be examined primarily as historical works on paper and prints, with attention to botanical subject, printing and colouring, dimensions, condition, inscriptions, publication details, and evidence connecting the object to the documented project. The source pack does not establish a reliable catalogue of paintings, sculpture, or other independent media.

## Market and appraisal context

Weinmann-related auction results should be compared by medium, dimensions, botanical subject, date, condition, publication or edition details, and attribution confidence. Provenance, catalogue references, restoration, inscriptions, and whether a work can be securely connected to Phytanthoza iconographia may also affect comparability. Appraisily’s collected page reports matched public sales from 1998 through 2026, with 104 records and 86 priced records, but another summary on that page refers to 65 tracked lots. That discrepancy should be reconciled before presenting a definitive market count. Observed prices and medians are descriptive records, not predictions; private transactions, incomplete feeds, fees, condition differences, and attribution changes can produce materially different results.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity and market claims should be updated as stronger biographical or catalogue evidence emerges.
