Sebastian Vitus slip

Sebastian Vitus Schlupf (born June 15, 1761 in Augsburg , † March 14, 1826 in Hamburg ) was a German sculptor and teacher for decorative drawing at the "Society for the promotion of the arts and useful trades", later " Patriotic Society of 1765 " in Hamburg.

Life

Memorial to Simon August Graf von Lippe, 1789, in Bad Meinberg

The Köpcke tomb, 1810, in Hamburg

Schlupf came from a family of sculptors in Augsburg: his father Johann (es) Schlupf (* 1723 in Batzhausen, Upper Palatinate) achieved his master's title in 1751, and the sculptor Johann Joseph Goetzl was one of his students. The maternal grandfather, Johann Joseph Obrist , worked in the church, monastery, residence; His detailed designs for the tabernacle, pulpit, and altarpieces in Augsburg and in southern Germany deserve special mention. His grandmother was related to the Dirr family of sculptors from Weilheim , to which Philipp Dirr also belonged. Sebastian Vitus Schlupf's godparents and those of his siblings were painters and engravers.

In 1791, Sebastian Vitus Schlupf settled in Hamburg. Previously, a "skilful young sculptor Schlupf" had been described for Detmold who had made the monument for 18-year-old Leopold I von Lippe in 1789 in honor of his late father Simon August . The young prince had returned from Dessau (attending the Basedow school) and Leipzig (discontinued university studies) and had a sandstone rock specially brought from the Teutoburg Forest in 1786. This depiction of a mourning putti with an urn on a pillar decorated with a portrait relief (today's location: Parkallee Bad Meinberg at the entrance to the spa gardens) is reminiscent of the handwriting of the Leipzig sculptor and drawing professor Adam Friedrich Oeser (1717–1799).

In 1792 Sebastian Vitus Schlupf took part in an application process at the Patriotic Society in Hamburg - there was a similar institution in Augsburg, the reformed “Reichsstädtische Kunstakademie Augsburg” (“Private Society for the Encouragement of the Arts”). Because of the "versatility of the young artist", who had presented examples of his artistry, including "Frames of the Portraits of Professors Reimarus and Büsch ", it was decided that he would be the first teacher of the new "class for decorative drawing" to train the most talented youngsters Carpenter and painter. Schlupf held this post in addition to his sculpting work until 1811. He was also employed at the Johanneum as “an extraordinary teacher of fine drawing” .

Sebastian Vitus Schlupf was married to Sophia Wilhelmina Boedecker, whose family, going back to a Nuremberg merchant, owned shops for mirrors, "Mobilien", "Nürnberger Waaren", "Byjouterie et Galanterie" in Hamburg. In addition to the sculptor's workshop, Schlupf and his wife had a shop for "Nuremberg wares" and toys from 1812, which was continued after his death in 1826 until 1841. The couple had several children, including "JJW (Johann Jacob Wilhelm) Schlupf jun., Sculptor, also in stone ”.

From around the last decade of the 18th century, there was an increased demand for tombs due to the relocation of the Old Hamburg church yards to outside the ramparts. Private stones worthy of preservation (Heckengarten open-air museum) and club stones (Ämtersteine ​​museum garden) are shown at the Ohlsdorf cemetery , some of which could be attributed to the workshop of SV Schlupf and / or his son, e.g. B. the stele with a portrait relief of Prof. Johann Georg Büsch (bought 1794, first burial: his wife 1798), but especially the (stone) tear-shedding putti with urn for the businessman Jakob Köpcke from 1810.

The Hamburg fire of 1842 and the bombings of 1943 badly affected Schlupf's workshop environment, and the library and archive of the nearby Patriotic Society (Große Johannisstraße, Trostbrücke) were destroyed, leaving no evidence of his activity as a decorative drawing teacher or his sculptor - Drafts are received.

Works

In the publications periodically published by the Patriotic Society in the context of public exhibitions, the following are mentioned:

• Colossal Mercury made of wood, carved after antiquity , "8 feet high"
• Flower piece, carved from wood
• carved frame decorations with oak leaves and ancient figures in bas-relief

In 1803, Schlupf supplied the St. Johannis Church in Hamburg-Neuengamme:

• Baptismal column with covered bowl (still available today)
• Sounding organ prospectus , richly decorated with amphorae, angels and carved organ pipe cladding
• Pulpit and ambo

In each case, he provided at least the basic draft for the following works installed in the Church of St. Severini in Hamburg-Kirchwerder in 1806 :

• Baptismal column with a covered bowl
• Pulpit roof , decorated with a halo, strikingly similar to the pulpit design in St. Johannis, HH-Neuengamme

1818 for St. Petri Hamburg stalls with Petrus and Paulus figures.
