Live and act

Sturm was born the son of a teacher who mainly taught sons of seafarers and who himself went to sea. Sturm initially also went to sea, but had to give up this job for health reasons and then worked as a room painter. He began his artistic training by studying at the Berlin Academy from 1859 to 1861 and then until 1864 in the studio of the marine painter Hermann Eschke . The studies were then continued from 1866 to 1870 under Hans Fredrik Gude at the Karlsruhe Academy . During his student years he made numerous trips: in 1862 to Sweden and Norway, in 1863 to his native Mecklenburg, in 1864 to Holland and Switzerland and in 1869 to Italy. From 1870 to 1876 he lived in Düsseldorf, where he married in 1872. From 1876 he took up residence in Berlin. In 1893 he received the Golden Medal for Art and Science from the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. In 1897 Fritz Sturm was appointed professor at the Berlin Academy.
