Leopold Schmutzler

1864-1940     Tyskland

Leopold Schmutzler (1864–1940) was a Bohemian-born painter known for his portraits, particularly of women, as well as historical, literal, and symbolic subjects. Strongly influenced by academic realism, his work showcased refined technique and idealized beauty, especially in high-society portraits.

In his later years, Schmutzler aligned with the Nazi regime, producing works that matched their traditional aesthetic preferences. This involvement complicates his place in art history, despite his technical skill and the popularity of his work during his time.
