Alfred Schouppé (December 13, 1812 – April 7, 1899) was a Polish painter, and one of the founders of the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts (Towarzystwo Zachęty Sztuk Pięknych) in Warsaw.[1]
He was born in Grabownica Starzeńska. He 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] He died in 1899, in Krynica-Zdrój.
