About Fritz Beinke

  • Biography

    Fritz Beinke (1842-1907)

    He attended the Academy of Arts in Dusseldorf, where he was trained by Karl Ferdinand Sohn (1805-1867) and Eduard Bendemann (1811-1889), amongst others. This was followed by a number of study trips through Germany and Northern Italy. His favorite subjects were rural depictions, especially in the Black Forest, Holland, and the high mountains.

    The genre scenes by Ludwig Knaus (1829-1910) were an important source of inspiration to him and finally lead to his specialization in genre painting. Fritz Beinke was a follower of the Dusseldorf School and his works are mainly in private hands today.
