Carl Philipp Fohr

Carl Philipp Fohr was a German painter of the early 19th century. He is known as a landscape painter and is considered a key figure of German Romanticism in painting.

Fohr trained in Italy, where early in his career he interacted for a time with the Nazarenes. His own style gradually developed and he produced significant works, including a group portrait of German artists in Rome. His younger brother, Daniel Faure, was also a noted landscape painter and court painter to the Grand Duke of Baden.

Carl Philipp Fohr passed away at a young age, but left a deep mark on the history of art.
