Bruno Jüttner was the son of a bookseller and publisher's founder in Wernigerode and lived in Berlin for a long time. He studied at the art academies in Kassel , where he was a student of Carl Holzapfel and Carl Hans Bernewitz , and Munich . He went on study trips to Holland, Belgium and France. His impressions during the traveling years were later reflected in his early works, in which he portrayed beach and harbor scenes.

After Jüttner had done military service in the First World War until 1918, he moved to Berlin. There he achieved his breakthrough as a painter in 1928. During the Second World War in 1943, his studio and apartment were destroyed. After the end of the war, Jüttner took part in various exhibitions, including the state exhibitions in Magdeburg and Halle an der Saale. From 1946 to 1950 he was a member of the Wernigerode artists' colony. In 1958 he suffered a stroke and died in Wernigerode in 1965 at the age of 84.

At first, Jüttner mainly created pictures with a maritime theme, cityscapes and some genre pictures in a late impressionist style. He painted the motif “Crab Fisherman” in more than 100 variations. His picture oyster collector is in the collection of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. After 1945, Harz landscapes dominated his work, with less pronounced contours than in earlier paintings. The Harz Museum Wernigerode shows 12 paintings by Jüttner.
