  Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow
Schadow did not at first take up the ideal fresco, as did the masters at Munich, but devoted himself to oil-painting; nor did he attempt great historical subjects, but the more modest forms of art.
Schadow held fast to the principle of the Romantic school, that more weight should be placed upon the conception than the form.
It should, however, be remarked that Schadow, notwithstanding his study from nature, never fully overcame the weakness of the Romantic school, and although he was three times in Italy, where he studied the masters, he exhibited less original force than a graceful talent.

 Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich Wilhelm Schadow (September 7, 1789 - March 19, 1862), a German Romantic painter, was the second son of Johann Gottfried Schadow.
Schadow was in 1819 appointed professor in the Berlin Academy, and his ability and thorough training gained devoted disciples.
Schadow died at Düsseldorf in 1862, and a monument in the square which bears his name was raised at the jubilee held to commemorate his directorate.

 ART / 4 / 2DAY
Under his teacher, Friedrich Georg Weitsch, he quickly became a skilled portrait painter, and by 1810 he was commissioned to paint portraits of members of the Prussian royal family and of the Empress of Austria.
In 1810 Schadow went with his brother, sculptor Ridolfo Schadow [09 Jun 1786 – 31 Jan 1822] to Rome, where in 1813 he became a member of the Lukasbrüder and, in 1814, a Catholic.
Schadow’s decorative painting was often combined with an idealistic and intellectual element, as in Poetry (1825), a winged figure standing on clouds over a coastal landscape writing the names of poets on a tablet while gazing upwards.

 Biography of SCHADOW, Ridolfo in the Web Gallery of Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
In 1810, with his brother Wilhelm Schadow, Ridolfo moved to Rome, in 1811 taking over the Roman sculpture studio of Christian Daniel Rauch.
From this point Schadow’s work is markedly individual: he brought a realistic, genre treatment to his figures, which drew on both classical tradition and the formal language of idealizing early 19th-century painting.
Under the influence of his brother Wilhelm and of Friedrich Overbeck, Schadow converted to Catholicism in 1814.

In the Nazarenes' case, revolutionary impulse and impulse toward conversion are similarly connected as a desire to transform the individual and to transform culture itself, to begin anew—in their case, as in that of the neoclassical artists, by reconnecting with an earlier past.
In Friedrich's view, this ruled out the use of traditional religious images and forms from an earlier time, since it was the character of the new age to be "am Rande aller Religionen" ("at the outer boundary of all religions").
The two founders of the Vienna student group were Johann Friedrich Overbeck, son of a senator from the old Hanseatic free city of Lübeck and later its Bürgermeister, and Franz Pforr, a member of a family of painters, from the imperial free city of Frankfurt am Main.

 Courtly Lives - Karl Friedrich Schinkel
It was said that the work of Friedrich Gilly (1772-1800) so influenced the sixteen year old Karl Friedrich Schinkel (then a student of Berlin's Gymnasium zum Graven Kloster) that he gave up his ambitions in music and painting for that of architecture.
He studied Pliny's villas, Christian basilicas, and medieval castles on the Rhine as was the passion of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, his patron.
The tomb of Karl Friedrich Schinkel is in the Corotheenstaedt cemetary in the Chaussesstrasse, Berlin center.

The painters Johann Konrad Hottinger, Friedrich Overbeck, Franz Pforr, Joseph Sutter, Ludwig Vogel, and Joseph Wintergerst were barely twenty but their goal was no less than to use art to free their age of rationalization and loss of meaning.
They were guided by the wish to create a new basis for art among the people and by the utopia of uniting art and life—a utopia that would reoccur repeatedly in the twentieth century, under various ideologies.
Friedrich Willhelm Schelling also helped set the direction: by liberating the art work from the task of imitating nature, he cleared the path for the Nazarnes and modern art, for the imitation of art and artistic processes of appropriation.
