"Der Feinschmecker" (The Gourmet) is a painting by Eduard Von Grützner (1846–1925), a German painter known for his genre paintings with a particular focus on the joviality of monastic life, often featuring monks engaged in eating, drinking, and merriment. Grützner, born in Groß-Karlowitz (now Karłowice, Poland) and later based in Munich, was a student of the historical painter Hermann Anschütz at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and later studied under the genre painter Carl Theodor von Piloty. He gained a reputation for his humorous and detailed depictions of characters indulging in culinary and enological pleasures.

"Der Feinschmecker" is emblematic of Grützner's artistic oeuvre, showcasing his skill in capturing the textures and atmospheres associated with gastronomic indulgence. The painting typically features a solitary figure, often a monk or a burgher, surrounded by the trappings of a meal, such as fine glassware, plates of food, and bottles of wine, all rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a rich, warm palette. The subject is usually engrossed in the sensory experience of tasting or smelling, highlighting Grützner's ability to portray the epicurean delight.

While the exact date of creation for "Der Feinschmecker" is not well-documented, Grützner's works in this genre were most prolific during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His paintings were popular in his time and were often reproduced as prints, making his jovial monks and connoisseurs familiar figures in European art.

Grützner's works, including "Der Feinschmecker," are held in high regard for their technical proficiency, particularly in the rendering of light, shadow, and texture, which brings a lifelike quality to the scenes he depicted. His contribution to genre painting is significant, as he brought a sense of levity and human warmth to his subjects, which resonated with the bourgeois collectors of his era.

Today, "Der Feinschmecker" and similar works by Eduard Von Grützner can be found in various art collections and museums, and they continue to be appreciated for their charm, wit, and painterly skill.
