Life
Erwin Speckter and his brother Otto Speckter were the sons of the Hamburg lithographer Johannes Michael Speckter . Encouraged by Baron Carl Friedrich von Rumohr, the brothers and their friend Julius Milde hiked through Ostholstein to Schleswig in June 1828 to inspect the Bordesholmer Altar. From 1825 he studied under Peter von Cornelius in Munich and from 1830 onwards he devoted himself primarily to religious painting in Italy. But he also painted landscapes with staffage and architecture and left behind a significant number of drawings.
The “Letters of a German Artist from Italy” (2 volumes, Leipzig 1846) were published from his estate.
