In 1848/49 he was close to the revolutionary movement and portrayed insurgents like Gustav Struve . Work in Heidelberg and Gießen can be verified in 1852/53 .
After a stay in the Netherlands in 1856, Schubart temporarily settled in Saint Petersburg as a portraitist and theater painter , which he left for health reasons.
