Zöllner entered the Dresden Academy in 1822 . Two years later, Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein took him into his studio . Zöllner, who was initially interested in oil painting , soon turned to lithography .
At Vogel von Vogelstein's instigation, Zöllner received a grant from King Friedrich August I of Saxony in 1826 . It included a one-year stay in Paris , where he was in art and the art of lithographic engraving and lithography was formed. After a stay in Madrid he returned to Dresden in 1831, where he opened a lithographic printing workshop and developed a significant artistic activity.
