Karl Philipp Fohr

Karl Philipp Fohr, a brother of Daniel Fohr, was born at Heidelberg in 1795, and studied at Munich, chiefly by himself from nature and the great masters. His paintings, which are to be met with at Karlsruhe, Darmstadt, and Frankfurt, display genius and grandeur of style. In the Städel Institute at Frankfurt are views of Tivoli and Heidelberg. His death occurred in 1818 at Rome, from bathing in the Tiber.
