The painter Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner and later Ritter von GrĂĽtzner is one of the most important Munich genre painters of the second half of the 19th century. In history, he is considered a "monk painter", as he focused on monastic life in his paintings. In the artworks of Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner, it was often noticeable that he always depicted monastic life very cheerfully and exuberantly, often capturing the ascetic cardinals with unsympathetic facial features. Despite the fact that only a few paintings of still life by Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner exist, he was particularly fond of this type of artwork and painted them passionately.
The talent of the painter Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner was recognized at an early age and was encouraged by both the church and the nobility. As the youngest child of a poor peasant family, he painted on everything he could get his hands on and thus made many villagers happy with his animal and human drawings at a young age. Through the village priest and the architect Hirschberg Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner got the opportunity to attend higher schools and to be trained as an artist. He met various artists such as Hermann Dyck, Hermann AnschĂĽtz and Carl Theodor von Piloty and was taught by them both in painting and on subjects such as the ideals of beauty in antiquity. This was short-lived, however, as Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner soon moved into his own studio in Munich and created his own paintings. Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner was not only an enthusiastic painter but also a passionate collector. He began collecting minerals and butterflies in his youth. Due to his enthusiasm for collecting, he drew a copy of the "Lehrbuch der Krystallkunde" of the mineralogist Carl Rammelsberg already at the age of 14. Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner collected special pieces from the early Renaissance and German late Gothic periods. This was also reflected in his painting. Due to his great passion for collecting, he painted portraits of mineralogists and geologists, whom he admired for their work. In his old age, Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner preferred to collect works of art from the Far East and learned the Japanese language. He occupied himself a lot with Chinese philosophy and let this flow into his painting. He worked Buddha figures or Chinese vases into his works of art. He emphasized especially in his larger compositions his collectibles from the Far East, from his own antique collection.
The painter Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner enjoyed a great reputation among his fellow painters and from the nobility. Thus, the painter and writer Friedrich Pecht announced in a magazine that Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner was awarded the title of professor by the Prince Regent himself. Furthermore, Eduard Theodor GrĂĽtzner received the Knight's Cross of St. Michael and was elevated to personal nobility in 1916 due to the award of the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown.
