Karl Friedrich Fries (1831 at Winnweiler, Germany – 1871 at St. Gall, Switzerland), studied first at the Academy at Munich, and afterwards under Berdellé. He visited Vienna, and painted there under Rahl; then went to Venice, Florence, and Calabria, where he studied the old masters. His style much resembles that of the Venetian painters.

The following are some of his works:

  • Wine, Woman, and Song; in the style of Paolo Veronese. 1862.
  • The Mineral Bath in the Abruzzi.
  • Several copies of the Ascension of the Virgin; after Titian.
  • St. Barbara; after Palma Vecchio.
