Biography:
Schilbach was born in 1798, in the same year as F. T. Horny and Carl Blechen.
He was thus, like them, a member of the younger generation of German Romantic painters. He took up his studies at the age of fifteen under Georg Primavesi, a scene painter and engraver in Darmstadt. In the early years of his artistic career he enjoyed the financial support of Grossherzog Ludwig I of Hesse. Ludwig’s patronage enabled Schilbach and his friend, the Heidelberg painter Ernst Fries, to travel to Rome on a study trip in 1823.
In Rome, Schilbach shared accommodation with Johann Joachim Faber and Heinrich Reinhold. He came into contact with Ludwig Richter, Carl Wilhelm Götzloff, Carl Philipp Fohr and Fohr’s patron, the Danish sculptor Berthel Thorvaldsen. Contemporary testimony of the high regard in which Schilbach was held in Rome has been provided by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld.
In the summer months Schilbach made regular study trips with fellow artists, visiting Olevano in 1824 and 1826, and Naples in 1825. He also made frequent excursions into the Roman Campagna. In 1828, he left Italy to take up a post as court painter in Darmstadt and to work as a scene painter.
He continued to make extended study trips with friends and colleagues, particularly with August Lucas and Johann Wilhelm Schirmer.
