Carl Suhrlandt

Carl Suhrlandt (10 July 1828, Ludwigslust - 11 February 1919, Kochel am See) was a German painter.

He received his first drawing lessons from his father, then studied sculpting with Christian Daniel Rauch in Berlin.

He worked in Copenhagen from 1859 to 1860, then visited St. Petersburg in 1861, where he became a member of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts.

He then went to live in Schwerin where, in 1874, he was appointed a Professor by Frederick Francis II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

Although he initially painted portraits and historical scenes, he eventually became a sought-after horse painter and made several visits to England in that capacity.
