Eduard von Grützner
Also known as
- Eduard von Grutzner
Eduard Theodor Ritter von Grützner (May 26, 1846 – April 2, 1925) was a German painter and professor of art especially noted for his genre painting of monks.
Grützner was born in Groß-Karlowitz near Neisse, Upper Silesia and studied under Piloty. He made his career in Munich and was, along with Carl Spitzweg and Franz von Defregger, one of that city's leading genre painters in the second half of the 19th century.
The paintings Grützner is best known for combine detailed academic rendering with humorous and anecdotal subject matter, often depicting monks drinking.
Grützner was one of Hitler's favorite painters, Speer quoting him as saying of one of the artist's works that he was "greatly underrated... Believe me, this Grützner will someday be worth as much as a Rembrandt. Rembrandt himself couldn't have painted that better."
He died in Munich in 1925.
