Friedrich August Schmidt (December 1787 - 19 September 1855) was a German engraver, lithographer and oil painter. [1]
He studied in Dresden from 1814 to 1816. He lived in Berlin from 1824, only interrupted by a trip to Italy from 1830 to 1831. He produced landscapes, architectural paintings, engravings, lithographs as well as working as a colourist. [2] From 1814 to 1848 he exhibited at the Academy of Arts in Berlin. He coloured and engraved the series of copperplate engravings (mainly based on Friedrich August Calau's and Johann Hubert Anton Forst's drawings) published in Berlin around 1825 by Baptist Weiss - the series included at least 68 views of Berlin and 7 of Potsdam and two based on Schmidt's own drawings. [3] He died in Berlin.
John Romney was an English artist in printmaking and watercolour who lived and worked in London and Chester. Much of his work consisted of reproductions of the work of other artists, but he produced some original prints, paintings and drawings. Like the great majority of contemporary printmakers he worked in both engraving and etching, often on the same plate, and descriptions of his prints as being in one or the other technique should be taken loosely. His best known original prints are series of views of the Chester area and his part of one on the antiquities in the British Museum. He was apparently not related to the famous portraitist George Romney (1734–1802).
