Eduard Frankfort

Eduard Salomon Frankfort (21 June 1864 in Meppel – 19 August 1920 in Laren) was a Dutch Jewish painter during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

When he was eleven years old, his family moved to Amsterdam, where Salomon Simon Frankfort hoped Eduard would eventually take a municipal job.

In 1887, he studied under master painter August Allebé at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (the Royal Academy for Visual Arts) in Amsterdam.

After his tour of South Africa, Eduard Frankfort returned to Amsterdam, where he married Klara Kloots in 1911.

Eduard Frankfort continued to paint and lead a distinguished career until his death on 19 August 1920, at age 56.
