Johann Gottfried Schadow (20 May 1764 – 27 January 1850) was a German sculptor. Schadow was born in Berlin, where his father was a poor tailor. His first teacher was the sculptor Tassaert, patronized by Frederick the Great; the master offered his daughter in marriage, but the pupil preferred to elope with a girl to Vienna, and the father-in-law not only condoned the offence but furnished money wherewith to visit Italy. Three years' study in Rome formed his style, and in 1788 he returned to Berlin to succeed Tassaert as sculptor to the court and secretary to the Academy. Over half a century he produced upwards of two hundred works, varied in style as in subjects.
The sculpture of the quadriga on top of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin was produced by Johann Gottfried Schadow in 1793.
