William Frederic Ritschel
(Nuremberg, Germany, 1864 - 1949, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA)
Impressionist painter William Frederick Ritschel was born in Nuremberg, Germany on July 11, 1864. Much of his young life was spent as a sailor at sea, and he often sketched the ever-changing seascapes. He studied art at the Royal Academy in Munich under artists Karl Raupp and Wilhelm von Kaulbach, after which he moved to New York City in 1895. In 1911 he made his way to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, and there he focused on the Monterey Peninsula and surrounding sea. It was in Carmel that Ritschel died in 1949. His works can be found in over 15 museums including the Oakland Museum of California, the B.Y.U. Museum of Art, the Monterey Art Museum, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C.
