Harald Friedrich, grandson of Caspar David Friedrich, was a well-known painter of landscapes, still lifes and genre scenes in his day. His early oeuvre mainly consists of narrative, historicizing genre scenes. After 1900 he more often painted still lifes, landscapes and travel impressions, in an increasingly fluid style and colorful palette. Friedrich received his first painting lessons from his parents and studied from 1877 to 1879 at the Kunstakademie in Dresden with the genre painters Leon Pohle and Ferdinand Wilhelm Pauwels. After a study stay in Munich and Venice, the painter lived alternately in Dresden and Hanover. He died in Florence.
