August Lutz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August Lutz from Heilbronn was a German miniature painter who worked around 1800 .

The dates of his life seem to be unknown, dated works by his hand date from the years 1792 to 1815. Heilbronn and Nuremberg are named as places of work. Nagler writes that he was sales clerk in Nuremberg, but that in the end he swapped merchants for art. In Nuremberg he was a contemporary of the painter and etcher Joseph Anton Lutz († 1824), although a connection between the two painters of almost the same name is unclear.

A miniature by Lutz was in the possession of the Hamburg art collector Hermann Emden .
