Gottfried Schadow

In art the Germans have been especially prominent, as the names of many Cincinnati artist testify.  As early as 1826 Gottfried Schadow founded here a Academy of Fine Arts, and had for a pupil Hiram Powers. He died of cholera and with him perished his academy. He made busts of Governor Morrow and President Harrison, the first of which is now in the State library.
