Johann Joseph Schmeller was a pupil of Ferdinand Jagemann. After Jagemann's death the Grand Duke of Weimar enabled him to study in the Studio of Bree in Antwerp. After his return in 1824 he obtained a teaching position at the Drawing School in Weimar. For Goethe he created portraits of the many literary people that visited him. 150 of these portraits are still at the Goethe-Nationalmuseum. Schmeller often drew and painted Goethe himself.
