Biography

Studied in Kraków, where he was a student of Jan Nepomucen Głowacki and Józef Richter in Warsaw. In 1837, by gaining a scholarship Schouppé began studying at the Accademia di San Luca, returning to Warsaw in 1840. He took part in a number of foreign travels, and after going into retirement in 1897 he moved out of Warsaw. Nearly every year he visited the Tatra Mountains.[2] His Tatra landscape paintings are characterised with idealism.[3] He also painted religious paintings and had been illustrating with Juliusz Kossak.[4][5]
