life and work
Pieter Francis Peters was born in Nijmegen in 1818 as the son of a Dutch glass painter . On April 4, 1842 in Ludwigsburg, he married the Dutch Heinrike (Heinrika?) Gertrude Mali († 1884), who was born in Mauren near Böblingen and who also came from a Dutch family of painters. The couple initially lived in Mannheim , but moved to Stuttgart in 1845 to take Heinrike's brothers Christian Mali , Johannes Cornelis Jacobus Mali (1828–1865) and Hubertus Mali (1818–1839) into the family after their parents' death.
In Stuttgart he received a studio in the old castle from King Wilhelm and served Queen Olga as a travel companion.
The three daughters Anna Peters (1843–1926), Pietronella Peters (1848–1924) and Ida Peters (1846–1923) came from the marriage with Heinrike Mali . She and the Mali brothers received their first painting lessons from Father Peters. But no works by Ida Peters have survived.
By setting up a "permanent art exhibition" in Stuttgart, he and the painter H. Herdtle ensured a lively exchange of ideas and images with painter friends in Munich .
While he was initially influenced by the Dutch Romanticism , he later painted almost impressionistically . He created atmospheric landscape studies that emphasize the atmospheric and less the faithful reproduction of nature.
He stayed with his family four times a summer from 1896 to 1903 at Castle Köngen, southeast of Stuttgart, in order to be artistically active. There is also a considerable collection of works by the Peters family, also in the Braith Mali Museum in Biberach an der Riss .
Pieter Francis Peters died in Stuttgart in 1903.
