Marine painters Denmark
Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen was a Danish-born American maritime artist known as the "Audubon of Steam Vessels".
The public rooms of The Griswold Inn in Essex, Connecticut, the oldest continuously run tavern in the United States, features the largest privately held collection of Jacobsen's paintings.
Frederik Theodor Kloss was a German and Danish painter of the mid-nineteenth century. He is known as a marine painter.
Frederik Kloss moved to Copenhagen early in his career, inspired by the paintings of Danish painter Christoffer Ekkersberg, and studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art. Kloss was a close friend of Ekkersberg and was under the patronage of the Danish King Christian VIII. He managed to integrate himself into the Danish cultural milieu, earning a prominent place among artists. The master devoted himself to marine painting, and many of his works appeared as lithographs.
Julius Stockfleth was a Denmark-born painter of landscapes and marine subjects, who settled in Galveston in 1885 and painted the city's docks, harbor, and ships. He created a series of paintings documenting the city during the 1900 hurricane and its subsequent rebuilding, which are the only known contemporary paintings of the disaster. Stockfleth left some 100 paintings of Texas subjects painted in a naïve realist style. After living in Galveston for two decades, he returned to Germany in 1907 and painted local scenes until his death. His work is in the collection of the Rosenberg Library.
