Johann Georg von Dillis

Johann Georg von Dillis was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with his documented artistic output spanning the years 1770 through 1820. His work is primarily focused on landscape subjects, often depicting dramatic natural views and specific topographical locations, such as those in the Bavarian Alps and Inn Valley.

His output is held in prominent institutional collections, establishing his work in major North American museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Documentation shows representation across multiple media, including 10 drawings, 4 prints, and 1 painting preserved in these collections.

Notable works frequently capture observational detail and sublime natural settings. These include Reclining Man in a Mountainous Landscape with Waterfalls, Hilly Landscape with Travellers, and the detailed study View of the Monastery in Tegernsee seen from the north-east. Other significant landscape depictions include A Royal Party Admiring the Sunset atop the Hesselberg Mountain and A View across the Inn Valley to the Alps and Neubeuern. These Johann Georg von Dillis paintings and associated prints, now often in the public domain, continue to be studied for their role in early landscape traditions. Researchers and collectors frequently seek high-quality prints derived from his detailed drawings.
