Georg Friedrich Schlater

Georg Friedrich Schlater (13 May 1804, in Tilsit – 14 April 1870, in Dorpat) was a Baltic-German painter, lithographer and drawing teacher.

He was born to Georg Friedrich Schlater, a wheelwright, and his wife, Eva Rosina, née Rimler.

While there, he created illustrations for Chirurgische Anatomie der Arterienstämme und Fascien, by Professor Nikolay Pirogov, which earned him a gold medal.

In 1852, the Imperial Academy of Arts awarded him the title of "Free Artist" for his painting, The Crossing to Annenhof near Dorpat.

He was married twice; to Friederike Hoffmann (1829), with whom he had six children, including the painter Alexander Georg Schlater [de], and to Sophia Elisabeth Stratmann (1850).
