Otto Weber (painter)

Carl Emil Otto Weber (17 October 1832, in Berlin – 23 December 1888, in London) was a German genre, landscape, and animal painter.

He was one of the first to paint in the Breton village of Pont-Aven which later developed into an artists' colony.

He studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts with Carl Steffeck, then in Paris with Thomas Couture.

In 1863–64, he travelled to Brittany where he painted genre works giving a romantic view of day-to-day life.

As a result of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, he had to leave France, travelling to Italy where he spent a year in Rome.
