Adolf Konrad Walter Bock was a twentieth-century German painter. He is known as a marine painter.
Adolf Bock, as a sailor in the German Navy, in 1912 accompanied Emperor Wilhelm II on a voyage to the Mediterranean and received, as an artist, the support of the Kaiser. In the interwar period he carried out commissions for steamship companies, publishing houses and magazines. In Nazi Germany his work was also valued, and he received a professorship personally from Hitler. During the Second World War, the artist survived being on the port side of the sunken liner Wilhelm Gustloff and later created prints on the subject of the disaster.
