Carl Kuntz

Carl Kuntz (29 July 1770, Mannheim – 8 September 1830, Karlsruhe) was a German landscape painter and etcher.

Deprived of a potential position there, he made efforts to be appointed a court painter for the recently created Electorate of Baden.

In 1806, after the Electorate had become the Grand Duchy of Baden, he was commissioned to decorate Bauschlott Castle [de], near Pforzheim, with landscapes.

He became a court painter in 1808, and moved to Karlsruhe, where he created scenes of Lake Constance at the Markgräfliches Palais [de].

In 1829, Grand Duke Louis appointed him Director of the Royal Gallery, but he died after holding that position for only a year.
