Gottlob Friedrich Steinkopf (1 March 1779, Stuttgart - 20 May 1861, Stuttgart) was a German landscape painter in the Classical style.
He was the fifth of fourteen children born to the animal and porcelain painter, Johann Friedrich Steinkopf, and his wife, Katharina Barbara Betulius (1754–1816), daughter of the publisher, Johann Christoph Betulius (1728-1791). [1] After his father-in-law's death, his older brother, Johann Friedrich, took over the publishing business.
His first art lessons came from his father. After that, he began training as a copper engraver with Johann Friedrich Leybold. 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. The prize money made it possible for him to study in Italy. 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. During that time, he sent home numerous works that received positive reviews in the Morgenblatt. In 1814, he returned to Vienna.
In 1821, at the age of forty-two, he went back to Stuttgart, where he would remain for the rest of his life. Three years later, King William I of Württemberg granted him a pension. In 1829, when the King created a Royal Art School (now part of the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, Steinkopf became a teacher there. He was promoted to Professor in 1833, and became a member of the governing board in 1845. His students there included Louis Mayer, Theodor Schüz and Carl Ebert. [1] In 1853, he was awarded the Order of the Crown. He retired in 1854, due to poor health.
