Max Friedrich Koch (24 November 1859, Berlin – 18 February 1930, Sacrow, Potsdam) was a German history painter. Later as professor he taught art at the Unterrichtsanstalt des Kunstgewerbemuseums Berlin (Teaching Institute of the Decorative Arts Museum Berlin); head of the academic master's studio for monumental painting, theatrical and decorative painting.[1][2][3]
Koch not only painted, but explored photography in the late 1800s and published two art nude model study works in collotype, posed and published according to artistic and academia criteria, titled Freilicht (Heft I) and in collaboration with the architect and sculptor Otto Rieth (1858–1911) Der Akt (Heft II).[2][3] The art nudes by Koch became known to every artist and art student of that time period, who as a history painter had also achieved a name in wider art circles.[3]
