Frits Thaulow, May 20, 1847 – November 5, 1906, was a Norwegian painter. Born in Christiania, now Oslo, he studied at the Academy of Art in Copenhagen and later with the Norwegian landscape painter Hans Gude in Karlsruhe.
Thaulow worked in Norway and was associated with the naturalist painters at Skagen. He became known for landscapes and town views, especially winter scenes and paintings of rivers, canals, and moving water, and helped introduce open-air naturalism to Norwegian painting.
In 1892 Thaulow settled permanently in France, though he continued to travel and paint in Italy and the Netherlands. He died in Volendam in 1906; his works are held by the National Museum in Oslo, the Musée d’Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other major collections.
