Feldherr Tod is a 1898 oil by Hans Beat Wieland, a Art Nouveau work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a couple embracing in the foreground, with a knight on horseback behind them. The knight is dressed in armor and holds a sword, while the couple appears to be in a romantic moment. The background is filled with a group of people, some of whom are holding flags or banners. In the distance, a cloudy sky can be seen, adding to the sense of drama and tension in the scene. The overall mood of the painting is one of intensity and emotion, with the contrast between the peaceful couple and the armed knight creating a sense of unease. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Hans Beat Wieland.
Hans Beat Wieland (11 June 1867 – 23 August 1945) was a Swiss painter, best known for his realist paintings of Alpine sceneries.
