Schmid-Reutte was the son of the stone mason, bricklayer and farmer Franz Anton Schmid. After attending elementary school, he initially worked as a bricklayer's handyman in Bavaria before he became a student of the class of antiquities with Franz von Defregger and Ludwig von Löfftz at the Munich Art Academy on October 8, 1878 . At the beginning of 1890 he founded and ran a special school for artistic anatomy in Munich with Friedrich Fehr , which is said to have had a good reputation, and also gave lessons in the drawing and painting class based on living models at the women's academy of the Munich Artists' Association . From 1899 to 1907 Schmid-Reutte taught as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe . In 1904 he was awarded the Knight's Cross First Class of the Order of the Zähringer Löwen . Since the beginning of 1909 he had to quit his job for health reasons.

His life's work includes the paintings “Am Scheideweg”, “Ringer”, “Flagellanten” and “Schäfer”. Schmid-Reutte mainly chose male nudes for his paintings: the tight rhythm of the muscles, the joints and the bone structure seemed the most important to him.

From 1890 one of his students was the painter Julius Seyler .
