Max Jensen (1860) was a German marine painter. He studied at the Berlin Academy of Arts and continued his education at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Jensen was active from 1877 to 1908, exhibiting his paintings in Germany, Denmark, and Holland. He lived in Berlin but frequently visited the North Sea and Baltic coasts.
Jensen dedicated his practice to marine subjects, observing coastal landscapes to inform his compositions. His works often depicted stormy seas, gulls rising above waves, and various harbor scenes. This sustained focus on the maritime environment characterized his artistic output throughout his active period.
Many of Jensen's paintings were lost during World War II. Surviving canvases are primarily held in private collections, occasionally appearing at auction.
