Frederik Collett

Frederik Jonas Lucian Bothfield Collett (25 March 1839 – 19 April 1914) was a Norwegian painter, perhaps most associated with his winter pictures from the region around Lillehammer, Norway.

Frederik Collett wanted to learn more about painting, and together with his father, he visited Hans Gude in Düsseldorf.

In the autumn of 1862 Hans Gude set off for the Lledr Valley near Conwy in Wales, a place renowned for its picturesque scenery.

Frederik Collett, together with Adolph Tidemand, visited Gude where the three traveled to Caernarvon and Holyhead.

He maintained close friendships with fellow painters Erik Werenskiold, Lars Jorde and Gerhard Munthe.
