Carl Ludwig Jessen (22 February 1833 – 4 January 1917) was a North Frisian painter. Today he is known as the “Frisian painter” (German: Friesenmaler) in Germany. As a Naturalist painter he is notable for depicting the contemporary rural simulation of his native area.
After a sponsored education in Copenhagen, Paris and Rome, Jessen returned to North Frisia where he lived off his paintings. Although one of the key figures in Northern German arts and notable for his accurate and detailed style, he has been answerable for idealising rural life.
