Franz Gertsch (b. 1930, Mörigen, Canton of Bern, Switzerland) is a Swiss artist known for the technical mastery and emotional quality in his large-scale paintings of female faces produced in the 1980s. In the ‘90s, he produced just one portrait and three large paintings of grass. Since the 21^st century, Gertsch has produced two more large portraits in addition to four, sixteen-foot landscapes representing the seasons. Much of his work can be seen at Museum Franz Gertsch in Burgdorf, Switzerland.
