Christian Friedrich Fritzsch

Christian Friedrich Fritzsch was an active printmaker spanning the first half of the 18th century, documenting an artistic period between 1719 and 1753. His documented output consists primarily of portraiture and landscape subjects executed as prints.

The significance of Fritzsch's work is confirmed by its inclusion in major institutions worldwide, with six prints represented in museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His known portfolio demonstrates proficiency in both figural and historical subjects.

Key identified works include the detailed study Portret van Abraham de Haen and the historical subject Mary, Queen of Scots. Fritzsch is also noted for his portraiture of religious figures, evidenced by multiple documented impressions of the Portret van Johannes Cuchlinus. While recognized mainly for prints depicting specific individuals, his output also included landscapes, such as Twee landschappen.

Due to the age of these originals, many of Christian Friedrich Fritzsch prints are considered public domain, making high-quality prints accessible for academic research and study.
