Tschautsch was born in Seelow. He studied at the Academy of Arts in Berlin from 1863 to 1867, under Julius Schrader.[1] He began exhibiting in 1870. In 1874–78 he was in Rome. He later taught at the Royal School of Art in Berlin, where he became a professor in 1895.[2] He died in Berlin and was buried in the Lichterfelde Cemetery; his grave has not been preserved.[3]
Works
[edit]Many of Tschautsch's paintings depict subjects from fairy tales (such as "The Princess and the Spindle" from Sleeping Beauty[4]) and legends and from works by Shakespeare and Uhland. He also painted portraits and historical subjects.[2] In 1878 he painted the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Descent from the Cross in the transept of St. Joseph's Carmelite church in Posen, now Poznań, Poland.[5]
