Short Description: "Johann Rudolf Werdmüller (1639 – 1668) was a Swiss Baroque painter and medallist.

Werdmüller was born in Zürich as the son of a military officer of the same name. His biography was written by Joachim von Sandrart in his Teutsche Academie, who included an illustration of him, and mentioned he was a pupil of Conrad Meyer. He was known for copies after old masters, and copper reliefs. He travelled to Amsterdam, where he suffered from the "bad air", and spent a winter in Frankfurt learning to paint flowers from Jacob Marrel.

Sandrart also included short biographies of several of his family members. He was perhaps inspired by Werdmüller´s unexpected death by drowning in the Sihl river during the year that he was writing, and described this sad event in detail." - (en.wikipedia.org 09.12.2020)
