Gottlob Friedrich Steinkopf

[1] After his father-in-law's death, his older brother, Johann Friedrich, took over the publishing business.

In 1798, Leybold moved to Vienna, and he accompanied him, continuing his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, where he decided to become a landscape painter.

[1] In 1807, he was awarded second-prize in a contest held by the Morgenblatt für gebildete Stände, a cultural and literary journal.

He went together with his wife and her brother, the landscape painter, Karl Jakob Theodor Leybold (son of his former teacher), and lived there until 1814.

His students there included Louis Mayer, Theodor Schüz and Carl Ebert.
