Friedrich Wilhelm (von) Schadow

Friedrich Wilhelm (von) Schadow (1788 - 1862) was active/lived in Germany, Italy.  Friedrich Schadow is known for Christian art themed easel and mural painting, teaching.

Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow was a German Romantic painter. He was born in Berlin and was the second son of the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow, who gave him his first lessons in drawing. He then turned to painting, and was instructed by Friedrich Weitsch.

In 1806-1807 Friedrich served as a soldier. In 1810 he traveled with his elder brother Rudolph to Rome where he became one of the leaders among painters of the Nazarene Movement*. Following the example of Johann Friedrich Overbeck and others, he joined the Roman Catholic Church, and held that an artist must believe and live out the truths he essays to paint. The sequel showed that Schadow was qualified to shine more as a teacher and mentor than as a painter.

As an author, he is best known for his lecture, Ueber den Einfluss des Christentums auf die bildende Kunst (About The Influence of Christianity On The Visual Arts) (Düsseldorf, 1843), and the biographical sketches, Der moderne Vasari (Berlin, 1854).
