Rudolf Köselitz (born 23 October 1861 in Annaberg-Buchholz; died 21 January 1948 in Munich) was a German painter and Illustrator.

Some genre pictures with idyllic content also fall into this creative period, some of which, as commissioned works, reflect the taste of the time.

But his watercolors such as the grain harvest, village parzen or chess players have also received great attention in numerous exhibitions.

Back then, art criticism placed the work of both artists in an equally appreciative relationship in terms of content and craftsmanship.

The most extensive retrospective collection to date (of 174 exhibits) opened on 21 July 2012 in the Erzhammer Cultural Center in Annaberg-Buchholz on the occasion of the artist's 150th birthday.
