Julius Schoppe
Julius Schoppe (born January 27, 1795 in Berlin ; † March 30, 1868 ibid) was a German portrait, landscape, decoration and history painter. He was one of the best portraitists of the Biedermeier period and the decades after. From today's perspective, his work in this field is one of the lasting achievements.
Career
Julius Schoppe came from a family of goldsmiths in Berlin and was related to the sculptor Gottfried Schadow . From 1810 to 1817 he went to the Berlin Academy ; his teacher was Samuel Rösel . A stay in Vienna in 1815/16 was followed in 1817 by a hike through Austria and Switzerland to Rome. The drawings he made on this trip were published as lithographs in 1823/25 . During the years in Rome from 1817 to 1822, Schoppe lived in the artist hostel Casa Buti on a scholarship from the Berlin Academy. During this time he copied painters of the Italian Renaissance , including works by Raphael , Titian and Correggio . Seven of his Raphael copies alone came into the Raffael collection of Friedrich Wilhelm IV. In the orangery of Sanssouci .
After returning to Berlin, Schoppe became a member of the Academy in 1825 and a professor in 1836. Hardly any works have survived from his early days, at the same time the painting of St. Elisabeth, handing out alms to the poor, from 1840 shows that Schoppe also dealt with other genres of painting in the early years. Otherwise he developed primarily as a portrait painter in Berlin; His numerous sensitive portraits of children are outstanding. He also participated in the interior painting based on designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel , including the Crown Princess Elisabeth's tea room in the Berlin City Palace , the vestibule of the “New Pavilion” next to Charlottenburg Palace and the “Little Curiosity” tea room in the pleasure area of Glienicke Palace .
