Biography
Biography
Karl von Hampeln was born deaf and mute into an Austrian family residing in the Russian Empire. With the scholarship granted by Empress Maria Feodorovna, he was first admitted to a school for the deaf in Vienna and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. During the Congress of Vienna in 1815, he was introduced to Tsar Alexander I, who financed his continued stay in Vienna. In 1816, he received a second-class court award as an Engraver. In 1817, he returned to Russia, and after 1825, he became a drawing teacher at the St Petersburg College for the Deaf. He gained recognition in the Russian capital as a portraitist. After a temporary short stay in London, he spent his final years in Vienna.
