Later, he pursued further training in Paris, within the circle of Jacques-Louis David and Jean-Baptiste Regnault. Stay in Italy (1823–1826): Commissioned by the Prussian royal family, he documented the wall paintings of Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as the Raphael tapestries in the Vatican. His preliminary drawings served as the basis for extensive series of engravings. Museum Work: Upon his return, he assumed the position of inspector—or curator—of the painting gallery at the Royal Museum in Berlin (Altes Museum). Artistic Oeuvre & Reception Court Portraitist: Ternite produced numerous portraits of the Prussian royal family and the nobility, including well-known depictions of Queen Louise of Prussia and King Frederick William III. Friedrich Wilhelm Ternite ""court painter"" Friedrich Wilhelm Ternite (1786-1871) was a German portrait and miniature painter, as well as a lithographer. He held significant positions in the Prussian royal court, serving as a court painter and later as an inspector of the Royal Art Gallery. Here are some key details about his life and career: Early Life and Education: Born in Neustrelitz, Ternite began his artistic training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin in 1803, studying under Friedrich Georg Weitsch. Military Service: He served as a volunteer officer in the Napoleonic Wars. After the wars, he returned to his artistic pursuits. ""Royal Service and Commissions: In 1810, King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia "" appointed him as a portrait painter. After the fall of Napoleon, Ternite was sent to Paris as a Prussian art commissioner to reclaim artworks plundered by the French and to acquire new pieces for the royal collection. Time in Paris: He spent several years in Paris, where he continued his artistic development under the guidance of Baron Antoine-Jean Gros. During this time, he created drawings based on a painting attributed to Fra Angelico, which were later published. Later Career: After returning to Berlin, Ternite was appointed "Master of the Royal Works of Art" (inspector of the Royal Collection) in Potsdam in 1826, a position he held until his retirement in 1864. He was awarded the Order of the Red Eagle in 1860. Notable Works: Ternite is known for his portraits, including those of members of the royal family. A famous work is his pastel portrait of Queen Louise of Prussia in a riding habit, created around 1810. He also created copies of well-known paintings, such as a copy of Anton von Maron's portrait of Johann Joachim Winckelmann. He also produced a series of drawings of murals from Pompeii and Herculaneum, which were published as a book.
