Julius Schoppe

From 1810 to 1817, he was enrolled at the Prussian Academy of Arts,[1] where he studied under Samuel Rösel [de].

He lived in Rome until 1822 (with a fellowship from the Academy) at the Casa Buti, which was also the home of Bertel Thorvaldsen and Wilhelm von Humboldt, among others.

Seven of his copies found their way into the Raphael Collection of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV in the Orangerie at Sanssouci.

He also did decorative painting, from designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, including the tea room of Princess Elisabeth in the Berliner Stadtschloss and the entryway of the "New Pavilion" near the Schloss Charlottenburg, both of which were later destroyed.

Among those that survive are paintings in the palace of Prince Charles near the Wilhelmplatz, the tea room of the "Kleinen Neugierde", a cottage in the pleasure ground of the Glienicke Palace, and frescoes on the ceiling at the Berlin State Opera.
