Biography

Studied in Kraków, where he was a student of Jan Nepomucen Głowacki and Józef Richter in Warsaw. In 1837, by gaining a scholarship Schouppé began studying at the Accademia di San Luca, returning to Warsaw in 1840. He took part in a number of foreign travels, and after going into retirement in 1897 he moved out of Warsaw.
