Antique 18th Century Landscape Painting Attributed to Christian Georg Schütz (1718–1791) – Oil on Panel with Giltwood Frame

This exquisite antique oil painting, attributed to Christian Georg Schütz the Elder (1718–1791), depicts a romanticized European river landscape, likely inspired by the Rhine River Valley. Executed with fine detail and masterful composition, the scene features rolling mountains, a meandering river, boats, and historic architecture, possibly castles or churches, nestled within lush greenery. The soft, atmospheric light and delicate brushwork are hallmarks of Schütz’s style, aligning with the late Baroque and early Romantic traditions of German landscape painting.

Housed in an ornate gold-gilt Rococo-style frame, the painting exudes an air of old-world sophistication, making it a striking display piece. The reverse bears an old attribution label, further supporting its connection to the renowned German painter.
