Peter Halm

Initially, he wanted to become an architect and, in pursuit of that goal, attended the Technische Universität Darmstadt.

After 1875, he studied copper engraving with Johann Leonhard Raab and general art subjects with Ludwig von Löfftz, at the Munich Academy.

His younger brother, Philipp Maria Halm [de] (later an art historian), came under his tutelage during this time.

Five years later, he was named a Professor there and eventually took over the management of the classes taught by his former mentor, Raab.

A complete collection of his graphic works is maintained at the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München.
