Frederik Theodor Kloss

Frederik Theodor Kloss (19 September 1802, in Braunschweig – 9 June 1876, in Copenhagen) was a German-Danish painter who specialized in marine painting.

[1][2] Kloss attended the Berlin Academy where he studied under Carl Schumann (1767-1827).

On seeing one of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg's marine paintings in Dresden, Kloss decided to go to Copenhagen and become one of his students at the Danish Academy.

Over the years, the two became great friends not only in art but also as members of the Free Masons.

Kloss became fully integrated into Danish cultural life.
