Ernst Fries

Ernst Fries, full name Adam Friedrich Carl Ernst Fries, was a German landscape painter, draftsman, engraver and etching artist.

Born into the wealthy and large family of banker and art collector Christian Adam Fries, Ernst received the best artistic education, including at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Ernst Fries traveled extensively throughout Europe and always and everywhere made landscape sketches. In Italy he created his best works. Moving to Karlsruhe in 1831, Fries was appointed court painter to the Grand Duke. During his short tenure he painted a large number of leads, paintings and engravings.

Fries marked the transition from romanticism to realism with his work and had great potential, but unfortunately he ended his life at the age of 32. His younger brothers Wilhelm (1819-1878) and Bernhard (1820-1879) also became artists.
