Alexander Georg Schlater
Alexander Georg Fedorowitsch Schlater (born November 23, 1834 in Dorpat , Livonia Gouvernement , Russian Empire , † June 12, 1879 in Düsseldorf ) was a German-Baltic landscape and marine painter from the Düsseldorf School .
Life
Schlater, son of the Riga- born drawing teacher, painter and lithographer Georg Friedrich Schlater from his first marriage to Friederike, née Hoffmann, received drawing and painting lessons from his father, who had been running a lithographic institute in Dorpat since 1837. From 1853 to 1856/1857 Schlater studied at the Imperial Art Academy in Saint Petersburg . There the landscape painter Maxim Nikiforowitsch Vorobjow was his most important teacher. During this time he was also influenced by the Russian landscape painters Iwan Iwanowitsch Schischkin and Alexei Kondratjewitsch Sawrassow . He then worked as a drawing teacher in Reval ( Estonia Governorate ) until 1872 . In 1869 the St. Petersburg Academy awarded him the title of "free artist". Until 1872 he took part in exhibitions there. In 1872 or 1873 he emigrated to Düsseldorf , at that time the center of the Düsseldorf School of Painting , where the landscape painter Eugen Dücker , also a former student of the St. Petersburg Academy, was just taking over from Oswald Achenbach as professor of landscape painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . From Düsseldorf, Schlater undertook several study trips to the Dutch coast, which inspired him to paint landscapes with scenes from the life of fishermen. Schlater died in Düsseldorf at the age of 44.
