Johann Anton de Peters

Johann Anton de Peters (16 January 1725 – 6 October 1795) was a German painter and etcher.

The happy mother, ca. 1775, now in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum

Peters was born at Cologne in 1725, and studied in Paris under Greuze. He was raised to the rank of a noble by the king of France, and appointed court painter by the Danish king, Christian VII, as well as by Prince Charles of Lorraine. The Revolution drove him back to his native country, where he lived in poverty, and died at Cologne in 1795. There are by him:

Paintings
Young lady at her toilet
  • Death of Cleopatra (in miniature upon ivory).
  • A Girl leaving the Bath (Herr Merlo, Cologne).
  • The Girl with the Carp.

Etchings
  • Virgin and Child, in a landscape.
  • Holy Family on the Flight to Egypt (after Rembrandt).

gollark: Notably, you can have tags with some amount of logic in them for filtering based on various predicates.
gollark: Now, while very ææææ in some ways (they say stuff about keeping notes around for 100 years, but run on a subscription model, and do their stuff as a clientside webapp?!), some of the features there ARE very cool.
gollark: Another one of the inspirations which fed into the utterly nonexistent idea of minoteaur I have in my head is Standard Notes.
