Edmund Hottenroth

Edmund Hottenroth (9 October 1804, Blasewitz – 13 April 1889, Rome) was a German landscape painter in the late Romantic style.

He was born to Franz Aloys Hottenroth, a Chamberlain, and his wife Josepha, née Busetti.

He was largely self-taught in drawing and painting, although he took a few lessons from Caspar David Friedrich and Johan Christian Dahl.

There, they became a part of the German-Roman community; taking lessons from Joseph Anton Koch and Johann Christian Reinhart.

He also designed and executed decorations for the Antico Caffè Greco; a gathering place for the intellectual community.
