Fritz Klingenhofer
  • Biography from Galerie Bassenge, Berlin

    Fritz Klingelhofer was born in 1832 in Marburg.

    Fritz Klingelhöfer, trained at the academies in Kassel and under the influence of Andreas Achenbach in Düsseldorf, emigrated to North America at the age of 19.

    After his return in 1871 he was in Munich in the close circle of Friedrich August von Kaulbach and Wilhelm Busch.

    Numerous landscape sketches that he brought with him from trips to Africa in 1873 and 1876/79 form the templates for African landscape paintings that he created in Berlin and Marburg, the strength of which lies in the lighting effects.

    Fritz Klingelhofer passed away in 1903.
