Heinrich Jakob Fried (11 March 1802, Queichheim - 2 November 1870, Munich) was a German painter.
He studied at Stuttgart and Augsburg, and from 1822 under Johann Peter von Langer and Peter von Cornelius at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. In 1834 he went to Rome, and afterwards to Naples, and from thence returned to his native country in 1837. Being patronized by Prince Karl Philipp von Wrede, he settled at Munich in 1842, and became conservator of the Artistic Society in 1845.
Fried was a great lover of legends, often taking these and similar sources for the subjects of his best pictures. He also executed a great number of landscapes, as well as genre and historical pieces and portraits, the best of which are:
Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld was a German painter, chiefly of Biblical subjects.

Along with Caspar David Friedrich, he is considered one of the two most prominent German painters of the 19th century, and was the most successful artist of his era in Germany. First known as Adolph Menzel, he was knighted in 1898 and changed his name to Adolph von Menzel.

In 1825 he attended the academy at Munich, and afterwards visited the Tyrol and France. Between 1835 and 1840, in conjunction with Monten and Schelver, he published a work upon the German federal army, with two hundred coloured lithographic plates; and another illustrating the return of the Russian troops to their homes. He died at Munich in 1840, while engaged upon a picture of the great review near that city before the Emperor of Russia. Besides genre subjects and battle-pieces he painted marine views.

His painting of 'Chamsyn in the Desert,' in the possession of the Emperor of Germany, was produced in 1845, and is greatly admired. He died at Frascati, near Rome, in 1865.
