'''Otto Werner Henning von Kameke''' (2 February 1826, [[Słupsk|Stolp]] - 8 June 1899, [[Berlin]]) was a German painter, a [[Hauptmann]] in the [[Prussian Army]] and a Knight in the [[Order of Saint John (Bailiwick of Brandenburg)|Order of Saint John]]. He specialized in mountain landscapes.
==Biography==
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 [[Kczewo, Słupsk County|Egsow]] and [[Komorczyn|Kummerzin]]. Initially, he followed his father into a military career.
In 1859, he married Valeska (Wally) von Ferentheil und Gruppenberg (1836-1914), daughter of [[Oberst]] Richard von Ferentheil und Gruppenberg, who was also a Squire in [[Lenartowice, Lower Silesian Voivodeship|Leonhardwitz]] and [[Kębłów, Lower Silesian Voivodeship|Kammelwitz]].
He was already a Hauptmann when, in 1860, he decided to change careers and become an artist. After resigning his commission, he went to Italy, in the vicinity of Rome, where he spent two years studying nature. He then enrolled at the [[Grand-Ducal Saxon Art School, Weimar]]. 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 was also a member of the [[Prussian Academy of Arts]] and taught landscape painting there.
he died in Berlin at the age of seventy-three and was buried in the [[Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery]]. His grave has not been preserved.<ref>Hans-Jürgen Mende: ''Lexikon Berliner Begräbnisstätten''. Pharus-Plan, Berlin 2018, ISBN 978-3-86514-206-1</ref>
