Johann Jacob Lorenz Billwiller was a landscape painter and etcher, who was born and died in St. Gallen. Around 1805 he became a pupil of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He painted in the tradition of Martin von Molitor, Lorenz Janscha and Carl Schütz. Both motifs were transformed into etchings by Billwiller. It is noticeable that he put much emphasis on the impression of depth and on the magic colouring of the two sheets.
