Biography
Johann Balzer (6 August 1738 – 14 December 1799) was an 18th-century Czech engraver in the Kingdom of Bohemia.
Life
Balzer was born at Kuks, in Bohemia, in 1738. He was first instructed in art by Michal Rentz, but subsequently completed his education by travelling through Germany, where he visited several Academies. He chiefly resided at Prague, where he produced numerous works, mostly portraits, and died in 1799. He left two sons, Anton (1771-1807) and Johann Karl (1771-1805), who were both engravers, together with his brothers Mathias and Gregor.

- A set of fifty plates of Landscapes and Architectural subjects, with Biblical, mythological, and genre groups of figures} after Norbert Grund, an old German painter.
