Christian Leberecht Vogel (6 April 1759, in Dresden – 11 April 1816, in Dresden) was a German painter, draughtsman and writer on art theory. His pupils included Louise Seidler, and he was the father of court painter and art professor Carl Christian Vogel.
Life
A family history, written circa 1914 by Vogel's grandson, Victor Vogel, says: "Christian Leberecht Vogel [was] born in 1750. He became a painter of some renown, was Professor at the Academy of fine Arts at Dresden Saxony Germany. Moved to Waldenfels, a few miles from Lichtenstein. His first great painting was the Alter Painting at the Church of Lichtenstein, 'Suffer the little children to come to unto me and hinder them not for such is the kingdom of God'. Which is still intact today [in 1914]. Thirty years later he repeated the same painting for the Duke of Schoenberg at his Castle in Wildenfels. He lived at Wildenfels from 1780 till 1804. He died in 1816 at the age of sixty-six."
