Bernhard Peters (born September 13, 1817 in Anklam ; † May 2, 1866 ibid) was a German landscape and vedute painter , draftsman and drawing teacher .

Life

Bernhard Peters was the son of superintendent Friedrich Gotthilf Peters (1761–1829) from his second marriage to Juliane geb. Schack († 1869). He attended a high school in Anklam and then the Stralsund grammar school .

In 1836 he went to Berlin , made preliminary studies there and attended the painting academy from 1838 to 1842 , where he studied with Otto Völckel. He then went on study trips , mainly to the Northern Alps , the Salzkammergut and Lake Hallstatt . In 1846 he visited the Scottish highlands and then toured southern and northern Germany . On these trips he found motifs for his works, which were shown in exhibitions at the Berlin Academy between 1839 and 1848.

Bernhard Peters became a drawing teacher at the Anklam grammar school in 1849 , where Otto Lilienthal was one of his students. From 1850 he was born with Charlotte Sophie. Koch (1813–1894) married. With her he had a daughter Anna Charlotte, who also became a painter.

Peters contracted a laryngitis which forced him to quit teaching, but he continued to paint. On May 2, 1866, he died in Anklam of so-called "throat tuberculosis" ("larynx tuberculosis").

He belonged to a Masonic lodge .

Bernhard Peters painted in oil and also made ink drawings . His motifs were mainly his hometown Anklam, landscapes and views of Hanseatic coastal cities and high mountain motifs .

Several well-known artists made steel engravings based on models by Bernhard Peters , such as Henry Winkles around 1840 Greifswald , view from the northeast and 1841 Danzig and Oliva Monastery near Danzig , Wilhelm Witthöft around 1840 ruins of Eldena Monastery , Albert Henry Payne around 1840 The Langgasse in Danzig with the Rathhausthurme and Franz Abresch around 1850 The royal palace in Königsberg .

In 1844 published the Sundine. Entertainment sheet for New West Pomerania and Rügen a sonnet to Peters after looking at a winter landscape.

Some of his pictures were used as templates for illustrations in the tenth volume, Walks on the North and Baltic Seas by Wilhelm Cornelius and Theodor von Koppe of the ten-volume work The picturesque and romantic Germany , which was published by Georg Wigand .

The Polish historian and librarian Marian Pelczar published the book Widoki Gdańska z połowy XIX wieku ( Eng : Views of Danzig from the mid-nineteenth century ) in 1947 with engravings by Henry Winkles and Albert Henry Payne based on models by Peters.

His pictures have been shown at art exhibitions in Berlin , Gotha , Weimar , Magdeburg , Stralsund , Greifswald , Rostock and Stettin , among others . Some of the pictures belong to the painting collection of the museum in the stone gate in Anklam.

In 2017, in the year of his 200th birthday, the special exhibition Bernhard Peters - The Life and Works of an Anklam Painter took place in the Museum im Steintor .
