Christian Friedrich Conradin was a Swiss landscape painter and lithographer. He was active in the Swiss Heritage Society. He studied at the School of Applied Arts in Zurich and did his practical training in the neighbouring town of Rüschlikon with the painter and graphic artist Hermann Gattiker. To further his education, Conradin attended the Royal School of Art in Stuttgart and then the Académie Julian in Paris. After returning to Switzerland, he lived in Pura in Ticino. Conradin painted mainly landscapes and architecture of Graubünden and the Engadine, which he exhibited at the art exhibitions of the "Verein bildender Künstler München e.V.", and at the spring exhibition of the Munich Secession in 1905.
