Biography:
Ernst Friedrich August Rietschel was born into a lower middle-class family. He studied at the Dresden Art Academy before moving to Berlin in 1826 to study with sculptor, Christian Daniel Rauch. Rietschel received a scholarship to study sculpture in Italy and received consistent commissions for architectural sculptures upon his return to Germany. Some of his significant creations include the Munich Glyptothek building of the old University of Leipzig, the Dresden Court Theater, and the Berlin Opera. He also produced multiple free-standing monuments for famous Germans.
