Late 19th century oil on canvas painting titled "Monks with Spirits," showing a pair of monks with a candle, peering at another monk, sleeping against a barrel, next to a drink pitcher and goblet of wine. Attributed to Adolf Metzner, after the work of Eduard von Grutzner. Adolf Metzner was an Indianapolis pharmacist and artist who served in the Civil War and moved to Hamilton, Ohio where he painted copies of Grutzner's whimsical depictions of monks in everyday life.

In 1864, with the help of an architect Hirschberg, he left home for art education at the private school of Herman Dyck in Munich. In his first semester, he transferred to the Classical Art class of Johann Georg Hiltensperger and Alexander Ströhuber, where the students learned about the aesthetic ideals of antiquity. In 1865, Grützner joined the painting class of Hermann Anschütz at the Munich Academy.

Piloty's class was packed with aspiring artists from around the world, from Hungary, Greece, Germany, Russia, and Poland. After three years under Piloty, Grützner left the academy.

In 1880 he was awarded the Order of Merit of St. Michael (Knight...
