His father, Christian Alexander Ascan Lutteroth (1812-1867), was a prominent banker. From 1861, he studied with [Alexandre Calame](/source/Alexandre_Calame) in Geneva then, from 1864 to 1867, with [Oswald Achenbach](/source/Oswald_Achenbach) at the [Kunstakademie Düsseldorf](/source/Kunstakademie_D%C3%BCsseldorf). He lived in Italy from 1868 to 1870, mostly on [Capri](/source/Capri), then moved to Berlin. In 1872, he married Elisabeth Warnecke (1851-1932), the daughter of [Johann Conrad Warnecke](/source/Johann_Conrad_Warnecke), a merchant and politician like his grandfather. He returned to Hamburg in 1877, where he was awarded a commission to paint three large pictures for the Town Hall. In 1879, he paid a lengthy visit to [San Remo](/source/Sanremo). While there, he served as a tutor for [Crown Princess Victoria](/source/Victoria,_Princess_Royal), who was an amateur painter. Most of his best known earlier landscapes are of Italy. In 1890, Kaiser [Wilhelm II](/source/Wilhelm_II,_German_Emperor) named him a Professor. After that, he confined his painting to the area around Hamburg. Until 1909, he was Chairman of the [Hamburger Künstlerverein](/source/Hamburger_K%C3%BCnstlerverein). He was represented at numerous international exhibitions. His works were acquired by the [National Gallery (Berlin)](/source/National_Gallery_(Berlin)) and the [Rudolfinum](/source/Rudolfinum) in Prague, but are not currently on display; placed in storage in favor of more modern works. They may still be seen at the [Kunsthalle Hamburg](/source/Kunsthalle_Hamburg) and the [Museumsberg Flensburg](/source/Museumsberg_Flensburg), among other smaller venues. In 2019, his works were part of an exhibit at the Kunsthalle: *Hamburger Schule – Das 19. Jahrhundert neu entdeckt* (The 19th Century rediscovered). He is interred at his family's gravesite at the [Ohlsdorfer Friedhof](/source/Ohlsdorfer_Friedhof). ## Sources - [*Lutteroth, Ascan*](https://archive.org/stream/malerwerkedesne00boetgoog#page/n926/mode/2up).
