Johann Wilhelm Schütze (September 1807, Hamburg - 24 July 1878, Berlin) was a German painter and art professor. His birth year is sometimes given as 1814, and the place as Berlin. He has often been confused with Wilhelm Schütze , a painter from Munich.
Life and work
His first art lessons were in Berlin, with August von Kloeber . From 1847 to 1848, he worked with Carl Eggers, creating frescoes designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, in the hallway at the Altes Museum. Later, he was a Professor at the Royal School of Art.
He was especially successful as a painter of genre scenes, from the lives of the rural farmers; with a preference for naïve, youthful characters. Many of his works were made into lithographs, by himself and others, and issued in folio formats. These became widely popular.
His works include a large altarpiece at the Gutskirche Melkof (1869).
