Life

Little is known about Stuhr's life. On July 31, 1681 he became master of the painter's office of the Hamburg painter guild.

In Eckhardt's opinion, Stuhr was one of the most talented and hard-working northern German artists of his time:

“Landscapes, especially seascapes and harbor views, were the subjects of his depiction, in which he often came close to Abraham Storck and very close to Lingelbach . For a change he also painted prospectuses, especially Hamburg ones; Then perspective and historical objects, also animal pieces in the taste of Hondekoeter’s , and finally also portraits. "

The Hamburger Kunsthalle acquired the two pictures Sea Battle and Sea Battle from Stuhr in 1898 . The Patriotic Society in 1927 in Hamburg acquired the painting tree house with low and inland port , which in the Hamburg Museum on permanent loan and was restored, 2015.
