Carl Johannes Schleich
  • Biography

    The German landscape and marine painter Carl Johannes Schleich was born in 1834 in Stettin. As the descendant of a wealthy family, he was artistically fostered. He soon had to decide between a career as a painter or as an opera singer. He chose the latter.

    After a successful stage career and tours throughout Europe, he fully turned to the painting in the 1880s. He studied under Hermann Eschke (1823-1900) in Berlin, and later under the Norwegian painter Hans Frederick Gude (1825-1903). In 1912 Schleich died in Berlin.
