 | | A Portrait of Fritz Thaulow |
Thaulow was a Norwegian painter and engraver.
Originally wanting to become a marine painter Thaulow studied at the
art academy in Copenhagen (1870–73) as well as with the Danish marine
specialist C. F. Sørensen (1818–79). Thaulow spent two winters at
Karlsruhe (1873–4, 1874–5) as the pupil of Hans Gude and then went to
Paris, where he spent much of the period 1875–9. His marine paintings
and coastal paintings, some of which were accepted at the Paris Salon,
were only moderately successful, but he acquired a fair knowledge of
contemporary French Realist art and felt that Norwegian artists should
learn from it. Frits Thaulou admired in particular Jules Bastien-Lepage
and his Swedish contemporary Carl Skånberg
