Friedrich Carl Gröger

Friedrich Carl Gröger was a North German painter of the late 18th and first half of the 19th centuries. He is known as a painter and lithographer and is considered one of the most respected portrait painters of his time in Northern Germany.

Gröger was a self-taught artist. He began his career as a miniaturist, but soon began to specialize in portraiture, preferring chest-length portraits. His acquaintance with French artists during Gröger's stay in Paris inspired him to work with oil portraiture. He became known as a sought-after portraitist of the nobility of Schleswig-Holstein and painted a portrait of King Frederick VI of Denmark, which served as a model for coins and other portraits of members of the Danish royal family.

His works can be found in museums and private collections in Northern Germany and Denmark.
