TISCHBEIN, WILHELM, born at Hayna, Feb. 15, 1751, died at Eutin, June 26, 1829. History, portrait, and landscape painter, nephew and pupil in Cassel of Johann Heinrich Tischbein the elder; went in 1766 to Hamburg, where he restored old pictures, copied after Berchem and Wouwerman with great truthfulness, and then devoted himself to portrait painting; in 1771-73 studied in Holland after the old masters, returned to Cassel, went to Berlin in 1777, and to Rome in 1779. Two years later we find him in Zürich, making drawings for Lavater, in 1782 at Milan, and in 1783 again in Rome, whence he went with Goethe to Naples in 1787, and was made director of the Academy there in 1789. After the invasion by the French in 1799 he returned to Cassel, then moved to Hamburg, and in 1808 settled at Eutin, where he painted much for his patron, the Duke of Oldenburg.
