Heinrich Rasch (born October 25, 1840 in Norburg , Alsen ; † August 3, 1913 in Coburg ) was a German painter born in Denmark .

The son of a merchant grew up in good circumstances and first learned to farm. At the age of 26 he turned to painting and in 1866, initially in Hamburg, became a pupil of the Danish marine painter Anton Melbye (1818–1875). From 1866 to 1869 he continued his painting studies at the Art Academy in Karlsruhe with Hans Gude .

At the suggestion of his teacher and some of his classmates, he chose the Chiemsee as his place of study in the first year of his studies, which he also visited again and again in the following years. In 1870 he moved to Munich and became a student of Arthur von Ramberg . Since November 1, 1872 he attended the art academy in Munich . Rasch is considered to be one of the founders of the Ekensund artists' colony that was established in 1875 . In 1878 he went to Paris for a long time, turned to figure painting and created a number of salon pictures that were easy to sell. From the mid-1880s onwards, Rasch returned to landscape and marine painting, which he increased anecdotally with a figure staffage. Study trips to Lake Constance, Brittany, the Adriatic, Venice, Holland and England followed. The art writer Adolf Rosenberg placed him at the head of the younger talents of Munich art in 1884.

In 1891 the Munich Art Association organized an exhibition of his works comprising 220 numbers, a larger selection of which was taken over by the Kiel Art Hall. From 1902 to 1907 Rasch was a delegate of the Schleswig-Holstein Art Cooperative at the exhibitions in the Munich Glass Palace. The Kieler Zeitung of August 14, 1913 published a detailed obituary. In 1914 an estate exhibition took place in the Munich Glass Palace.
