Ludwig Tieck
Stieler worked mainly in the service of the Bavarian court. His painted likenesses in Schloss Nymphenburg, the "Schönheitengalerie", the so-called Gallery of Beauties, were commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Stieler painted the portraits of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Amalia of Greece, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, Johann Ludwig Tieck, and Alexander von Humboldt, but also altarpieces.
