Johan Georg Geitel

Johan Georg Geitel (1683 – 21 April 1771), also Johann or Hans Jürgen Geitell, Geittel or Geittell, was a Finnish painter.

Geital was born in Braunschweig, Brunswick-Luneburg, and later moved to Stockholm and then Finland. He primarily painted religious-themed paintings and portraits. When Geital relocated to Turku, the painters Claes Lang and Jonas Bergman protested, claiming there was not enough work for all of them. The local registrar's office granted Geital permission for only church historical paintings. He taught at the Royal Academy of Turku from 1758 to 1763.

In 1755, he painted the altarpiece for Paimio church. He produced paintings the Nousiainen church in 1756, the Lempäälä church in 1759, and the manor house for the Bishop of Turku in 1760. Geital died 21 April 1771 in Turku.
