Ferdinand Brütt, full name Ferdinand Martin Cordt Brütt, was a German Impressionist painter.
Brütt began his studies at the Hamburg School of Applied Arts, then continued at the Art School of the Grand Duke of Saxony in Weimar before embarking on an extended study trip to Italy. For many years he lived in the Kronberg artists' colony in Kronberg im Taunus.
Brütt painted more often scenes from public places, particularly court sessions, domestic genre subjects and landscapes. From 1906 to 1913 he created several large wall and ceiling murals for the city of Frankfurt. In 1905 he was commissioned to design a large public hall in the town hall of Frankfurt am Main.
Ferdinand Brütt also taught at the Academy of Arts Düsseldorf, was a member of the Association of German Artists and was a member of the Association of Artists of Malkasten.
