Life

Little has been published about Heinrich Wilhelm Schulz's life. It is possible that he first studied architecture and gradually devoted himself to all of art history through educational trips to Italy. He was in scientific correspondence with Carl Friedrich von Rumohr and was director of the royal antique and coin collections in Dresden as early as 1846 . In this capacity he campaigned for the construction of the Semper Gallery .

Schulz died at the age of 46. After his death, his Prussian colleague Ferdinand von Quast published Schulz's main scientific work on the art monuments of Lower Italy in three main volumes, which was created through the collaboration of Anton Hallmann , a volume of documents and an atlas.

Heinrich Wilhelm Schulz was the "Royal Saxon Court Councilor " and a member of numerous scientific academies and associations, including a member of the Archaeological Institute in Rome and the Royal Society for Nordic Antiquity in Copenhagen.
