Ascan Lutteroth

His grandfather, Ascan Wilhelm Lutteroth [de], was a merchant and served in the Hamburg Parliament as a Senator.. His father, Christian Alexander Ascan Lutteroth (1812-1867), was a prominent banker.

From 1861, he studied with Alexandre Calame in Geneva then, from 1864 to 1867, with Oswald Achenbach at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.

He returned to Hamburg in 1877, where he was awarded a commission to paint three large pictures for the Town Hall.

They may still be seen at the Kunsthalle Hamburg and the Museumsberg Flensburg [de], among other smaller venues.

In 2019, his works were part of an exhibit at the Kunsthalle: Hamburger Schule – Das 19.
