Daniel WogeDaniel Woge (1717-1797) was a German drawer (artists) and painter. LifeHe was born in Berlin and trained under Antoine Pesne before being summoned to Neustrelitz by Adolphus Frederick IV to be his court painter. He remained in the town until his death there. He mainly produced portraits of Adolphus Frederick and his family, though he did also produce altarpieces (such as that for the Nikolaikirche in Friedland) and produced drawings which others worked up for engravings. All the major museums in Mecklenburg have paintings by him in their collections - there are also some in the portrait collection at Gripsholm Castle in Sweden. In 1770 he was commissioned by Crown Prince Charles to paint a series in oils showing the Prillwitz idols. Johann Conrad Krüger produced engravings after the original paintings and these were included in the 1771 volume Die gottesdienstlichen Alterthümer der Obotriten aus dem Tempel zu Rhetra, am Tollenzer-See, co-authored by Andreas Gottlieb Masch and Woge himself[1] Selected works   Germany
