Christian Leberecht Vogel was the son of a court saddler at the Saxon court. His talent became clear at an early age and the painter Johann Eleazar Schenau (1737-1806) became his teacher at the Art Academy in Dresden. In 1780 he was employed in Wildenfels as court painter and as educator of the children of Magnus I, Count of Solms-Wildenfels. In 1785 he married the chambermaid Wilhelmine Lüdecke.
