Biography
- Not to be confused with Veit Hans Schnorr von Carolsfeld, mining magnate
Veit Hanns Friedrich Schnorr von Carolsfeld (11 May 1764–30 April 1841) was a German portraitist.
Life
Schnorr was born in Schneeberg. He was a friend of the poet Johann Gottfried Seume, whom he set out to accompany in 1801 on a journey to Syracuse, Sicily, but separated from him after travelling no further than Vienna.
In 1803 he returned to Leipzig and became an assistant teacher at the Leipzig Academy of Art. In 1814, after the death of Johann Friedrich August Tischbein, he became director, which he remained until 1841.
Schnorr was a significant portraitist. His works include, among many others, portraits of Seume and Friedrich Rochlitz.
Family
Two of his sons also became prominent painters:
