Conrad Fehr

Conrad Fehr (November 19, 1854, in Toftlund, Duchy of Schleswig – June 22, 1933, in Berlin) was a German-Danish painter and sculptor.

Conrad Heinrich Franz Fehr was born in the Danish village of Toftlund in 1854, ten years before it became a part of German Prussia after the Second Schleswig War.

Fehr studied from 1877 to 1881 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under the professors Gyula Benczúr, Alois Gabl, and Ludwig von Löfftz.

[1] Fehr had his debut as a sculptor in 1896 at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition, where, after completing his teaching career, he was a regular guest as a painter.

[2] Conrad Fehr primarily made a name for himself as a teacher at his academy, but his genre pictures and religious scenes as well as the numerous portraits and landscapes show him as a remarkable artist.
