German sculptor, a pupil of Johann Gottfried Schadow.
Based on a concept by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Tieck created the tomb of General Gerhard von Scharnhorst at Berlin’s Invalidenfriedhof in 1822. He also created a bust of Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder and a lion made of bronze after a model by Christian Daniel Rauch. Tieck’s monument to Nicolaus Copernicus was erected posthumously in Thorn.
Tieck was a close associate of Rauch in Berlin. In 1818 they set up a studio together and collaborated on a number of works. Tieck was also an excellent portraitist.
Clemens Brentano (1778-1842) is one the most important representatives of German Romanticism, a literary movement which originated in Jena at the end of the 1790s, dissociating itself on the one hand from the literary-political programme of the so-called Berlin Late-Enlightenment (Friedrich Nicolai) and, on the other hand, from the aesthetic objectives of Weimar Classicism (Friedrich Schiller, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe).
Tieck was a close associate of Rauch in Berlin. In 1818 they set up a studio together and collaborated on a number of works. In this case the lion is by Christian Daniel Rauch.
