Karl Gampeln was born in 1794 in Moscow and was deaf from birth. A talented young man was sent to study in Vienna in a special school at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts. Returning to Moscow, under the auspices of Empress Maria Feodorovna, he became an artist and teacher. He signed his pictures with a full surname or a complex monogram, but always with the addition of “Sourd-muet”. It was the original signature “Hampeln Sourd-muet” or “Gampeln deaf-mute” that became the artist's visiting card.
