During the so-called " French period " Tielemann worked as a teacher at various drawing schools ; first in the Belgian city of Hasselt , then in England , and finally in the Electorate of Hanover or Electorate of Hanover, ruled in personal union between Great Britain and Hanover . Here he was in the orphaned royal seat of Hanover and after the elevation to the Kingdom of Hanover by the Duke of Cambridge, the Governor or Viceroy of Hanover Adolph Friedrich in 1816 was elevated to the Royal Hanoverian Court Painter.
