Life

The first letter in Die Gartenlaube , 1870

Schuback received his first painting lessons from Gerdt Hardorff at the Johanneum in Hamburg and became a member of the Club of Hamburg Young Artists . At the age of 16 he went to Munich in 1836 and studied under Peter von Cornelius and Heinrich Maria von Hess at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich .

In Nazarene trained -idealistischen style of Cornelius went Schuback 1844 to Rome and joined there a group of German artists. Heinrich Dreber , Günther Gensler and the sculptor Heinrich Gerhardt were among the closest companions . In Rome, Schuback took part in the humorous initiation rites of the Cervaro celebrations . With these costume parties, the Ponte Molle Society welcomed newly arriving artists and accepted them into its artist community.

In 1848 Schuback returned to Hamburg and painted genre and history pictures before he went to Düsseldorf in 1855 to study at the Düsseldorf School of Painting . From 1855 to 1856 he was a student of Rudolph Jordan there . From then on, he limited himself entirely to genre and portrait painting with figure compositions from past and present. His mostly humorous, occasionally instructive genre scenes often represented entertaining episodes from children's lives, such as B. The pictures The school enrollment , The narrating grandfather or The punished schoolboy , which also reflected the relationship to his wife's school.

His wife Emma Schuback, née Crüger, was the founder of a secondary school for girls, the Schuback'schen Schule , which at that time was located at 52 Bismarckstrasse. In 1859 Ms. Emma Schuback started a small course with eight students, in 1864 it became a school with five classes and soon the frequency increased so that the expansion of a complete school with ten classes was completed. In 1887 the school passed to Miss Anna Schmidt with 162 pupils, who ran the school as Schuback-Schmidt-Lyzeum with Oberlyzeum (women's school and kindergarten) until 1911 at Hohenzollernstraße 32.

As a member of the artists' association Malkasten , Schuback was involved in events and for 25 years was a board member of the Association of Düsseldorf Artists for Mutual Support and Help , which was founded in 1844.

In 1885 he traveled again to Rome. Emil Gottlieb Schuback died in Düsseldorf in 1902 at the age of 81.
