Otto Scholderer

Among his teachers were the art historian Johann David Passavant and the painter Jakob Becker.

Scholderer made several short study trips to Paris between 1857 and 1858, where he became friends with Henri Fantin-Latour and Édouard Manet, whose influence can be seen in his subsequent work.

With Thoma, Scholderer went in 1868 to Paris and returned to Germany only shortly before the outbreak of the French-German War.

The couple's only child, born in Putney was the noted bibliographer (Julius) Victor Scholderer (1880–1971).

[2] Otto Scholderer's art, initially dominated by landscapes, later consisted primarily of portraits and still lifes.
