Theodor Schüz

He was originally trained to be a notary in Herrenberg, but later began studying art in Stuttgart.

[1] There, he became a master student of the history painter, Carl von Piloty.

His other son, Martin (1877-1945), was an evangelical pastor in Haigerloch, but was also an amateur watercolorist.

[2] He gained his widest audience as an illustrator of the early works of Ottilie Wildermuth.

His best known work, "Noon Prayer at the Harvest", now at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, was originally exhibited at the Exposition Universelle (1867).
