He was born in Stuttgart. He studied from 1795 to 1797 at the Hohe Karlsschule under Philipp Friedrich von Hetsch, a follower of Jacques-Louis David.[1] In 1797–98 he studied under Johann Heinrich von Dannecker, then relocated to Paris where he spent 1799 to 1802 in the studio of David.[1] Between 1802 and 1811 he stayed in Rome, and became an important figure in that city's artistic life.[1] In Schick's last years, his style of Raphaelesque classicism gradually acquired a romantic orientation.
