Carl Schmidt-Carlson
Carl Schmidt-Carlson , actually Friedrich Heinrich Carl Schmidt (born September 16, 1806 in Lübeck , † April 2, 1887 ibid) was a German portrait painter and photographer.
Life
Schmidt was the son of a journeyman bricklayer in Lübeck. Since he showed talent in painting and drawing, the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities granted him a grant for three years to train as a portrait painter in early 1828. Schmidt became a student of Friedrich Carl Gröger and Heinrich Jacob Aldenrath in Hamburg for a year . For further studies he went to Dresden in 1829 and to Berlin in 1830 . After his return to Lübeck, the Lübeck mayor and amateur painter Karl Ludwig Roeck took him on and gave him orders.
In 1857 Schmidt went to the USA , but returned in 1860 and lived and worked in Lübeck until his death. He took the name Schmidt-Carlson to differentiate himself from the painter Johann Friedrich Theodor Schmidt (born July 4, 1822 in Lübeck; † March 4, 1883 ibid), who also lived in Lübeck. The Lübeck painter August Godtknecht created a portrait of him .
