| Julius Cornelius Schaarwächter (II) (1847–1904) | ||||||||||
| The son of the photographer, Julius Cornelius Schaarwächter (I), Julius was born in Amsterdam and first studied photography at his father’s studio. After completing his studies at the Berlin Commercial Academy under Hermann Vogel, he worked at the August Mencke & Co. studio in Hamburg for the next two years. He opened his first studio in Berlin in 1872, and his business became very successful, opening a second studio in 1889. The quality of Julius' work was praised by a number of critics. His style, characterised by frontal, crisply lit cabinet portraits with minimal props, emphasised respectability and photographic clarity, capturing the renowned figures of the day. In 1889, Julius was appointed court photographer to the Emperor of Germany. He was considered the most successful German photographer of the 19th century and received a number of awards both in Germany and internationally. He died in Berlin. | ||||||||||
