 Hans von Bartels (December 25, 1856 – October 5, 1913)
A German painter of mainly marines and scenes of fishing life, he was born in Hamburg, the son of Dr N. F. F. von Bartels, a Russian government official. Bartels studied first under the marine painter R. Hardorff in Hamburg, then under C. Schweitzer in Düsseldorf and Carl Oesterley in Hamburg, and finally at the Berlin School of Art. After traveling extensively, especially in Italy, he settled in Munich in 1885 and was appointed professor of painting in 1891.
Although an oil painter of great power, he is also one of the leading German watercolor painters. He was the first to use watercolour paint of large formats without the earlier conventions. From 1887 on, Von Bartels came every summer to the Dutch coast, especially to Katwijk aan Zee, to paint the fisherfolk and their labor.
He became an honorary member of leading English, German, Dutch, Belgian and Austrian art societies.
