Friedrich Fehr

Friedrich Eduard Fehr (24 May 1862, Werneck - 29 September 1927, Polling) was a German painter in the Historicist atyle.

He initially attended the Realgymnasium in Würzburg then, from 1878 to 1884, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich with Alexander Strähuber, Gyula Benczúr and Ludwig von Löfftz.

A scholarship from the Martin von Wagner Foundation enabled him to make an extended study trip to Italy from 1885 to 1890.

His students included Wilhelm Hempfing, Margarethe von Reinken and Alexander Kanoldt.

During this period, he expanded his own work to encompass interiors and genre scenes, in a style similar to the Dutch Masters.
