"Tiroler Schütze" (Tyrolean Marksman) is a painting by the Austrian artist Franz von Defregger (1835–1921), who was known for his genre paintings focusing on the Tyrolean culture and history. Defregger, born in Stronach, Tyrol, studied at the Munich Academy and was influenced by the works of Carl Theodor von Piloty. His paintings often depicted scenes from rural life, historical events, and traditional Tyrolean customs, capturing the essence of the 19th-century peasant life in his region.

The painting "Tiroler Schütze" is emblematic of Defregger's oeuvre, showcasing a Tyrolean sharpshooter in traditional attire. These marksmen were celebrated for their role in the Tyrolean Rebellion against the Napoleonic forces and the Bavarian army in 1809, led by the Tyrolean patriot Andreas Hofer. Defregger's work often romanticized the Tyrolean resistance and valorized its participants, reflecting a sense of local patriotism and nostalgia for a past era.

In "Tiroler Schütze," the subject is typically depicted with a rifle, wearing the characteristic hat with a feather, and adorned with the traditional Tracht, which includes a leather belt, embroidered braces, and a jacket. The painting is noted for its attention to detail, vivid characterization, and the ability to convey the pride and resilience of the Tyrolean people.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, Defregger's works were most prolific during the late 19th century, and "Tiroler Schütze" is consistent with the style and themes prevalent in his art during this period. The painting is appreciated for its historical and cultural significance, as well as its artistic merit, contributing to the understanding of Tyrolean identity and the region's historical narrative.

As with many of Defregger's paintings, "Tiroler Schütze" has been reproduced in various forms, including prints and postcards, which helped disseminate Tyrolean cultural imagery and contributed to Defregger's popularity. The original painting is part of a larger body of work that cements Franz von Defregger's legacy as a key figure in the portrayal of Tyrolean history and folklore through art.
