Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Richard
Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Richard , also Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Richard (* around 1725 in the Electorate of Hanover , † around 1770 in Hamburg ) was a German draftsman, etcher and painter.
Live and act
Richard painted portraits in oil, pastel and watercolor and made several trips, including to England. Here he was quite successful. He came to Hamburg, where he was able to train himself to become an “excellent artist” in the portrait subject and where he settled down. A well-known work is the portrait of Abbot Ferdinand Ambrosius Fidler , which was engraved in copper by Johann Christian Gottfried Fritzsch and auctioned in 1858. He also made a portrait of the ophthalmologist John Taylor as well as an etching from 1758 after David Teniers, which shows four farm boys filling an ox bladder with air. One of his students was the draftsman and miniature painter Johann Samuel Zimmer (1751-1821), who later worked as a university drawing teacher. Another student was the Swedish miniature and enamel painter Peter Adolf Hall (1739–1793), who started painting studies with him from 1858.
