Carl Arp (born 3 January 1867 in Kiel, died 6 January 1913 in Weimar) was a German landscape painter. He is best known as a founding zealot of the Schleswig-Holsteinische Kunstgenossenschaft and representative of the Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School (Grossherzoglich-Sächsische Kunstschule Weimar). Subsequent to his studies there under Theodor Hagen and Leopold von Kalckreuth, he spent several years in Italy. Carl Arp is viewed as one of the main representatives of the “en plein air” style of landscape painting.
Arp taught in Kiel und Weimar, and had exhibitions in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf.[citation needed] His works are exhibited in museums in Kiel, Danzig und Weimar. During the second world war, the SS Cap Tafelneh, sunk by German planes at Dunkirk and salvaged by the German navy, was named after him.[citation needed]
Arp’s works are mostly oil or water colour paintings subsequent to motives from Schleswig-Holstein and the Kieler Förde, as competently as his mature in southern Germany and Italy. Examples include:
