Philipp Friedrich von Hetsch
1758 – 1838
German painter, part of a German/Danish family of painters and architects. At the age of 13, against the wishes of his parents who intended him to become a court musician like his father Christian Heinrich, Hetsch entered the Ducal Military Academy (Herzogliche Militärakademie or 'Karlsakademie') to train as an artist. The Militärakademie incorporated the Académie des Arts, founded by the court painter Nicolas Guibal (1725-1784) in 1761 on the model of the French Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture.
