Johan Didrik Frisch (4 May 1835 – 22 November 1867) was a Danish landscape and animal painter.
These drew the attention of the landscape painter Hans Harder, who was sufficiently impressed that he helped him to begin his career as an artist.
[2] After some time at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he went to Paris in 1857 to continue his studies.
He briefly visited Rome, then went to Florence, where he took up with his fellow Danish painters, Otto Bache and L.A.
[2] During a cholera epidemic later that year, he and Schou were both infected and died in Florence within days of each other.
