Johannes Bartholomäus Duntze (born May 6, 1823 in Rablinghausen , † May 20, 1895 in Düsseldorf ) was a German landscape painter .

Born the son of the Bremen pastor and historian Johann Hermann Duntze and Elisabeth Ulrichs, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1839–1842 , where Carl Rottmann may have influenced him, then in Berlin with Wilhelm Krause , in Antwerp and 1851–1855 in Geneva with Alexandre Calame . As early as 1845 he was on a study trip to Norway, which at the time was only visited by a few painters. In 1855 he visited Paris . In 1856 he settled in Düsseldorf, where he joined the artists' association Malkasten in 1858 . He went on further study trips to Switzerland (painting since 1852), Tyrol, Belgium and Holland.

The main themes are Alpine landscapes, Norway landscapes and winter landscapes, which are often located in Holland and also contain architecture and genre scenes. He also painted the Rhine, Lahn and Moselle landscapes.

It is controversial whether Duntze should be included in the Düsseldorf school because of his place of residence . In the Romantic style, he painted very precisely with a thin application of paint. His open-air sketches are also very finely executed, which distinguishes him from the leading Düsseldorf painters of that time and more closely followed the Munich and Swiss schools. The larger studio pictures are often fictitious.

His pictures are colorful and friendly. He placed great emphasis on lighting effects, preferring backlighting. Müller emphasizes the "clarity of the air and the beauty of the coloration of water and land."

Duntze sent numerous German and foreign exhibitions, e. B. from 1866 to 1888 the Berlin academy exhibitions, later English, Swiss and 1888/89 Copenhagen exhibitions. The museums of Hamburg, Hanover, Stuttgart, Mainz, Bern and Geneva and Sydney bought works from him.
