Connections with other artists

Teacher of This field mentions the names of pupils. What is at issue are the pupils who were significantly influenced by a teacher as opposed to every student someone ever had. See also the 'Education' field.: Kessler, Peter
Schütz, Christian Georg (II)
Schütz, Franz
Schütz, Johann Georg
Schütz, Philippine
Follower of: Saftleven, Herman

According to Gerson, the Rhine landscapes of Schütz are a direct continuation of Hermand Saftleven, quoting Goethe, citing:'Schütz, auf dem Wege des Saftleven die die Rheingegenden fleissig bearbeitete' (Gerson 1942/1983, p. 321). According to Hüsgen 1780, Schütz studies works by Saftleven in the collection of Baron von Häckel.
