Karl Friedrich Schulz called Jagdschulz or Jagd-Schulz, (also Carl Friedrich Schulz ; born November 3, 1796 in Selchow im Spreewald , near Storkow , Brandenburg ; † March 2, 1866 in Neuruppin .) Was a German genre and landscape painter .

Life

Schulz was the son of a master baker from Berlin . He attended the Berlin Academy and in 1815 took part in the campaign against Napoleonic France as a war volunteer . He then spent five years in the Rhineland and the Netherlands , where he made numerous trips on horseback. At that time he was commissioned to copy paintings by Jan van Eyck for the Berlin Gemäldegalerie in the Netherlands . He took the opportunity to do marine studies.

This was followed by a longer stay in Cologne and in the then still rural Ruhr area . Between 1830 and 1848 he lived in Berlin, where he was appointed professor at the Berlin Academy in 1841 (an activity which he then only carried out for a short time). At the beginning of the 1840s he traveled with General von Falkenstein to Munich to study glass painting, stayed in Bad Liebenstein in 1846 on behalf of Duke Bernhard II of Saxe-Meiningen and went to Saint Petersburg in 1847 at the request of Russian Tsar Nicholas . To escape the turmoil of the revolution, he retired to Neuruppin in 1848.

plant

Schulz had abandoned academic painting at an early age and painted genre scenes based on the Dutch model. He preferred landscapes, naval and military scenes, but especially hunting pieces (hence his nickname Jagd-Schulz). Together with Adolph Menzel , he dealt with court clothing from the Frederician period and, from 1837–1840, painted watercolor depictions of the army of Frederick II for the Prussian King Frederick William III. , 1847–1852 similar depictions of the Russian army, and provided templates for glass paintings .
