In 1833, he accepted Eduard Gerhard"s invitation to Berlin, where he made the decision to devote his energies to art history. In the autumn of 1833, he accompanied Gerhard to Rome, where in a short amount of time, he became librarian, and subsequently secretary to the German Archaeological Institute. At the institute, he established a galvano-plastic workshop, from which issued many reproductions of antique art objects and casts of modern works.
