Life

Schulze was the son of a belt maker and learned his father's trade. After he had finished his studies, he worked for him as a journeyman for 5 years. At the same time he attended the Dresden Academy. In 1772, on the recommendation of General Director Christian Ludwig von Hagedorn, he was sent to Paris as a court scholarship holder to continue his education with Johann Georg Wille . After ten years in Paris, Schulze was called to Dresden as court copper engraver. Schulze worked in Dresden from 1783.

reception

In a 21-page overview in the General German Library on the “Fine Arts” (subtitle: “Fine arts, especially copperplate engravings”), the outstanding in Europe are listed. The first thing under "Dresden" is:

The portrait of the learned farmer Joh. Georg Palitzsch, in Prohlis, not far from Dresden, engraved by Mr. Schulze after Graf in 1782. in fol., Deserves to be listed ...

Schulze is also praised in Nagler's New General Artist Lexicon from 1846:

[Schulze] supplied numerous sheets of every kind. Many of them are to be named with distinction, since Schulze was not only a capable engraver, but also very experienced in drawing. Others were only stung by students under his supervision.
