landscape

Gietl is considered a typical representative of the later Munich open-air painting . The oil sketches from the 1880s, which were created in the vicinity of Dachau, show landscapes and people in a loose application of paint. He often painted medium-sized landscape pictures with peasant figures as staffage as well as large, cloudy and summery skies over a deep, wide horizon.

tomb

Grave of Josua Gietl on the old southern cemetery in Munich location

The tomb of Joshua Gietl is on the old southern cemetery in Munich (wall right place at 134/136 cemetery 6) Location . The grave site was originally laid out for the merchant Johann Josef Pasch (177? –1823) and his wife Elisabeth (1780–1833), whose two busts probably originally stood in the two niches. Their daughter Anna (1814–1897) married Franz Xaver von Gietl, who in 1880 took over the grave site. After Gietl's death, his marble bust (attributed to Johann von Halbig ) was placed in the right niche. Gietl's son, the painter Josua von Gietl, was also buried in the grave.
