Title: The Hut Near The Tunnel
Artist: Dietrich, Christian Wilhelm Ernst (Weimar, 1712 - Dresden, 1774)
Date: 1751
Medium: Original Etching
Note: Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich (Christian Dietrich): A major German eighteenth century painter and etcher, C. W. E. Dietrich studied first under his father, a court painter. At the age of twelve he was sent to Dresden to study painting and etching techniques under Alexander Thiele (1685-1752). In 1729, at the age of seventeen, Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich was appointed a court painter to Augustus II, King of Poland. Christian Dietrich visited Holland in 1734 and Italy in 1743. Christian Dietrich was appointed Keeper of the Dresden Gallery (1746), Professor of the Academy of Arts, Dresden (1764), and also Director of the Painting School at the Meissen Porcelain Factory (1764-1765).
 

The art of etching played a large role in Christian Dietrich's oeuvre. In total he created over 180 original etchings from 1728 to 1763. He was equally gifted in the genres of landscapes, figure studies and religious scenes and gained a huge reputation in both France and Germany for his ability to etch subjects in a number of styles. One scholar writes,

"Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich was a prodigy. Even in an eclectic age, contemporaries were amazed at his gift of imitating the manner of many artists of different schools and epochs, from Rembrandt and van der Neer to Rosa, Berchem, Lairesse and Lancret." *
