(Retrato/Portrait de/of Frits Thaulow de/by Hans Heyerdahl (1857–1913)/de/of 1885/Dominio Público/Public Domain)

Un pintor impresionista noruego nacido en Christiania, la actual ciudad de Oslo, en 1847 que le encantaba pintar paisajes… Empecemos por el hecho de que a este pintor no lo mencionaron para nada en la facultad, al menos no en m mí época… Pero me parece interesante y que contribuyó a la historia del arte y que se debe saber de el, al menos entretenernos con sus cuadros… Y si tú no sabias nada de Frits, pues yo te voy a decir algunas cosillas… Primero, no era autodidacta, estudió en la Academia de Arte en Copenhague del 1870 al 1872. Además, del 1873 al 1875 estudio bajo el pintor Hans Gude, uno de los más famosos de su país, en la Escuela de Arte Baden en Karlsruhe.​ Vivió un tiempo en el cabo de Skagen (Dinamarca) en 1879, pero en 1880 regresó a Noruega para convertirse en uno de los jóvenes pintores más destacados de su país… En 1892 se mudo a Francia y allí murió en 1906. Es un pintor de gran merito, nombrado comendador de la Orden de San Olaf (1905)… Si te provoca ver sus obras, pues hay 37 de ellas en La Galería Nacional de Noruega.

Frits Thaulow was an impressionist painter from Norway, born in Christiania, now the city of Oslo, in 1847, and loved to paint landscapes… Let’s start with the fact that this painter was not mentioned at all at uni, at least not in my time… However, I find him interesting and I recognise the fact that he contributed to the history of art. We should know about him, at least so that we can delight with his paintings… And if you didn’t know anything about Frits, well, I’m going to tell you a few things… First, he was not self-taught; he studied at the Art Academy in Copenhagen from 1870 to 1872. Additionally, from 1873 to 1875, he studied under the painter Hans Gude, one of the most famous in his country, at the Baden Art School in Karlsruhe. He lived for a time at Skagen (Denmark) in 1879, but in 1880 he returned to Norway to become one of the most prominent young painters in his country… In 1892 he moved to France and died there in 1906. He is a painter of great merit, appointed commander of the Order of St. Olaf (1905)… If you feel like seeing his works, there are 37 of them in the National Gallery of Norway.
