Johann Jakob Dorner learned to draw from his father and first created etchings. In 1803 he drew two lithographs, memorial monuments in Abbach and Saal, which are among the earliest artistic works using this new technique. In the same year he became a restorer at the predecessor of the Alte Pinakothek, the Hofgartengalerie, of which he was appointed gallery inspector in 1808. from 1820 onwards he became ill with his eyes and underwent several successful operations. In 1824 he was made an honorary member of the academy.
His work is divided into three periods: up to the eye operations, the 1820s, with a period beginning in 1829 that is characterized as a “decline” and finally a third “without highlights” after a stroke on October 8, 1843.
Dorner traveled extensively in Bavaria, especially Upper Bavaria, sketching intensively and creating watercolors that served as models for his landscape paintings. In this technique he was influenced by the circle of friends around Johann Georg von Dillis. While the sketches and studies offer a fresh impression of nature, Dorner's landscape paintings show the reception of Dutch painting of the 17th century even more strongly than in the Dillis circle.
“Johann Jakob Dorner the Younger belongs to the first generation of Munich landscape artists, which has its most important representatives in Johann Georg Dillis [\.] and Wilhelm von Kobell [\.]. They all saw their role models in the old Dutch masters Jacob van Ruisdael and Allart van Everdingen. In contrast to the tradition-bound ideal landscape painting following Claude Lorrain, they aimed to reproduce nature as realistically as possible and also tried to create the most realistic lighting situation possible.”
Larger holdings of his works are in the Bavarian State Painting Collections and the State Graphic Collection in Munich. Further works are exhibited in the Georg Schäfer Museum in Schweinfurt.
Johann Dorner died in Munich in 1852 at the age of 77. This piece has an attribution mark,
