Friedrich Carl Vogel
Friedrich Carl Vogel (born March 20, 1806 in Frankfurt / Main , † August 18, 1865 in Venice ; also: Fritz and Julie Vogel ) was a German lithographer and photographer . He was best known through photographs of important personalities of the Frankfurt National Assembly in 1848 and of members of the Austrian ruling house.
Life
Friedrich Carl Vogel was the son of the Frankfurt merchant Johannes Vogel and the pastor's daughter Louisa Philippina Henrietta Reichard. In Frankfurt he ran a lithographic company from 1827 and a wallpaper factory from 1837, but had to file for bankruptcy in 1843. During this time he was already experimenting with photography. In 1846 he took over the photo laboratory from Sigismund Gerothwohl in Offenbach, in which his wife also worked. In 1851 he went to Venice via Milan, where he ran a studio in the Palazzo Pisani. He mainly photographed tourists in front of beautiful backdrops, which were probably designed by his nephew, the German landscape painter Karl Reichardt in Venice.
Friedrich Carl Vogel had been married to his mother's cousin, Julie Therese Schmidt (* October 28, 1806, St.Marie-aux-mines / Alsace), who came from a widespread Lutheran pastor family, since 1830. In Frankfurt and Venice she worked in the photo lab.
Services
Friedrich Carl Vogel was one of the leading lithographers in Frankfurt and was one of the first photographers, where he also earned scientific services. Around 1849 he fought for a patent for photomontage.
He became known as an Austrian artist, among other things, through his participation in the World Exhibition in London in 1851.
