Eduard von Grützner (1846 Großkarlowitz – 1925 Munich) Cellar Master at a Wine Tasting A portly monk, gazing contentedly at his full glass, carrying a large copper pitcher under his arm with his left hand. In this work—typical in both motif and style—Grützner emphasizes the subtly characterized and sympathetically portrayed figure through effective use of light. After studying at the Academy in Munich under Hermann Anschütz and Carl von Piloty from 1865 to 1870, Grützner quickly achieved great success and became one of the most significant and, to this day, most popular Munich genre painters. Grützner’s main subjects were depictions of Falstaff and cheerful scenes from monastic life—mostly portly monks who, with a zest for life, indulge extensively in earthly pleasures such as food, wine, and beer. Oil on wood panel; signed and dated (19)02 on the lower left. 33 cm x 25 cm. Original frame. Provenance: Neumeister Auction, Munich, June 28, 2006, Lot 609. Oil on panel. Signed and dated (19)02.
