Johann Christian Benjamin Gottschick studied in the Palais Fürstenberg in Dresden at the General Art Academy of Painting, Sculpture, Copper Engraving and Architecture in the 1830s as a student of Christian Gottfried Schultze .

Gottschick also taught at the Dresden Academy, but is said to have retired before 1826 .

Johann Christian Benjamin Gottschick mainly worked as an engraver of portraits , but also created reproduction engravings and illustrations for architectural fonts. In 1843 he was one of the "real members" of the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden.

On August 23, 1805, Gottschick had contacted Johann Wolfgang von Goethe with plans to sell , introduced himself as a pupil of Christian Gottfried Schultze and wanted to send two of his works to an exhibition, including a portrait of Andromache . Gottschick was later mentioned several times in the correspondence between Goethe and the romantic Carl Gustav Carus , with whom the engraver was in personal contact.

After the artist's death in 1844 and a settlement reached by a court on May 10, 1850 by the creditors of the estate , Julius Heinrich Mannfeld opened an edictal trial by the Dresden City Court .
