René Schützenberger (Mulhouse July 29, 1860, Paris December 31, 1916), also known as René-Paul Schutzenberger, was a French painter.

Biography

Born in an Alsatian family of famous brewers, his father Paul Schützenberger (1829–1897) was a French chemist. The painter Louis-Frédéric Schützenberger (1825–1903) was his cousin.

He studied at the private art school of Rodolphe Julian called Académie Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens.

He started to exhibit at the Salon des Artistes Français since 1891, at the Salon des Indépendants since 1902 and at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts since 1907. He got an honourable mention at the Salon of 1897 and at the Universal Exhibition of 1900.

He practiced genre painting, portraits, nudes and landscapes, treating the subjects of the daily life and intimists subjects. His style is close to the Post-Impressionism movement and was influenced by the Les Nabis group of post-impressionists, most of whom also studied at Académie Julian.
