Tischbein was born at Haina, in what is now Hesse. Like many contemporary colleagues, he moved to Rome for some years. During his first stay in Rome (1779–1781) his style changed from Rococo to Neoclassicism. He painted landscapes, historical scenes and still lifes. His second stay in Rome lasted 16 years (1783–1799). He met Johann Wolfgang von Goethe there in 1786, made friends with him and accompanied him to Naples in 1787. Later, Goethe recounted this travel in his Italian Journey.
Diogenes of Sinope c. 1780 (attributed).

Also in 1787, Tischbein painted his most famous work, a portrait of Goethe as a traveler in the Roman Campagna (now in the Städel museum, Frankfurt am Main).There ia also a portrait by this artist in the National Gallery of Romania(Bucharest).

From 1808, Tischbein was a painter at the court of Oldenburg in Northern Germany. He died at Eutin in 1829.
