Johann Ulrich Schnetzler

Johann Ulrich Schnetzler

Schnetzler was trained by the Schaffhausen painter and plasterer Johann Jacob Schärrer and, after around five years of apprenticeship, moved to Vienna in 1726 to live with Jacques van Schuppen (1670–1751), the Director appointed by the Emperor Charles VI for the newly founded Imperial Court Academy of Fine Arts. He continued his studies in Paris, where he was painted by Nicolas de Largillière. Back in Schaffhausen, Schnetzler opened a studio that developed into an extremely flourishing company. Eight of his works, including a self-portrait, were destroyed in the air raid on Schaffhausen on April 1, 1944.
