Patrick von Kalckreuth was a German maritime painter. He was born Patrick Dunbar and was the son of a German naval officer.
After his father's death, his mother was remarried to Richard von Kalckreuth in 1931. Richard von Kalckreuth adopted Patrick and despite being in his 30s, he changed his last name. Thus, early works of von Kalckreuth are signed under the name Patrick Dunbar whereas his paintings after 1931, are signed under the name Kalckreuth.
After a brief career as a seaman, von Kalckreuth (at that time Dunbar) enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and studied with the German painter Hugo Schnars-Alguist. Von Kalckreuth lived in both Dusseldorf and Berlin, but frequently spent summers along the North Sea in Cuxhaven. His works generally feature scenes from the North Sea, both scenes of waves crashing along beaches and ships at sea.
His paintings are frequently displayed in several museums and galleries in Hamburg and in the North of Germany including the Historisches Museum located in Bremerhaven, Germany. Von Kalckreuth died in 1970. See less
