Friedrich Heinrich von Boetticher (1826–1902)[1] was a German publisher, bookseller, scholar and art historian.

Following this he trained as a farmer at the private Brösa Institute near Bautzen,[2] run by his future brother-in-law, the agronomist Ernst Theodor Stöckhardt [de], and where he married the pastor's daughter Eugenie Mitschke (1825-1858) in 1850.

In the same year he acquired a manor at the Großdubrau municipality village of Zschillichau [de], which he farmed until 1853, after which he sold it and worked as his father's manager in Riga.

He left Riga in 1854 and moved to Saxony where he acquired a publishing bookshop in Dresden, to which an art shop was later attached.

[3] After years of art-historical study, he published Malerwerke des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, Beitrag zur Kunstgeschichte (Nineteenth-Century Paintings, Contribution to the History of Art) in two volumes between 1891 and 1901,[4] which includes 50,000 paintings by German painters, and painters active in Germany.
