Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich, also known as Christian Guillaume Ernest Dietricy, was a German painter and printmaker.
He was born in Weimar, Thuringia, into the family of the court painter Johann Georg Dietrich, and received his first training from his father. Dietrich worked in a variety of techniques and artistic movements of his time.
The talented artist took up any subjects: stories from the Old and New Testament, allegory and mythology, as well as portraits, genre scenes, portrayed ordinary people and livestock, painted coats of arms and vignettes, and more.
In 1764, Dietrich was appointed director of the painting school of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. The following year he became a professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. Works of Christian Wilhelm Dietrich can be found in many museums in Europe.
