Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Frits Thaulow originally wanted to become a marine painter; he studied
at the art academy in Copenhagen (1870–73) as well as with the Danish
marine specialist C. F. Sorensen. He then went to Paris, where he
spent much of the period 1875–9. His marine oil 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 (showing 500 of 6638 characters). |
