Information:

Otto Fröhlicher was a Swiss landscape painter. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Johann Gottfried Steffan and continued his studies in Düsseldorf under the influence of Oswald Achenbach. Upon returning to Munich, he was inspired by the work of Adolf Heinrich Liers. Fröhlicher was an important figure in Munich’s art scene. He served as president of an organization representing the interests of Swiss artists living in Munich and acted as a juror for several exhibitions.

Today, works by Fröhlicher can be found in the collections of the Kunstmuseums Bern and Solothurn, the Kunsthaus Zürich, and the Neue Pinakothek in Munich.
