Hans Werner Schmidt (1859 – 1950) was a German painter, illustrator and etcher.[1] Primarily, he created history paintings, frequently dealing with the history of Weimar and the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Grown up as the son of a craftsman, Schmidt began studying at the Weimar Saxon Grand Ducal Art School in 1879. As a student of Albert Heinrich Brendel and Theodor Hagen he became a master student in 1885 and was appointed professor in 1903.
