Life

Karl Schönherr was born as the son of the master shoemaker Christian Schönherr on August 15, 1824 in Lengefeld. His talent for painting and drawing was recognized early on. At the age of 15 he passed the entrance exams for the Dresden Art Academy . During his student days he painted music boxes for a company in Zöblitz and thus financed his studies. From 1839 to 1852 he studied at the Dresden Art Academy and was a student of Julius Hübner and Eduard Bendemann . In the meantime he worked in the studios of his professors in order to further distinguish himself. For his outstanding study results, he received a travel grant for a study trip. In the years from 1852 to 1854 he traveled to Italy, where he completed his studies. For his excellent results he was honored with the small gold medal of the Dresden Art Academy.

His paintings and drawings were shaped by religious themes, especially depictions of scenes from the New Testament . As early as 1844, he showed his works in an academic exhibition in Dresden on the Brühlsche Terrasse and was always represented from then on. From 1857 to 1900 he taught at the art academy and was appointed professor in 1864. In 1888 he was elected a member of the Dresden Academic Council. Osmar Schindler and Robert Sterl were among his students . With his students, he designed the walls of the staircases in the new Dresden townhouses, such as in Johann-Georgen-Allee and Sachsenplatz.

He died on June 9, 1906 in Dresden and was buried in the Johannisfriedhof .
