Otto von Kameke

Otto Werner Henning von Kameke (2 February 1826, Stolp - 8 June 1899, Berlin) was a German painter, a Hauptmann in the Prussian Army and a Knight in the Order of Saint John.

He was born into an old Pomeranian family and was the son of Rittmeister Albert von Kameke (1795–1860), who was also a Squire of Egsow and Kummerzin.

His teachers there included Arnold Böcklin, Alexander Michelis and, later, Stanislaus von Kalckreuth, whose landscape paintings were the most influential in determining his style.

He favored high mountain areas in Upper Bavaria, Switzerland and the Tirol, but occasionally painted on the plains in Northern Germany.

he died in Berlin at the age of seventy-three and was buried in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery.
