Ernst Gustav Herter

Ernst Gustav Herter (14 May 1846 Berlin, Germany – 19 December, 1917 Berlin) was a famous German sculptor. He worked in Berlin. He specialised in creating statues of mythological figures. Among his most famous works is "Sterbender Achilles" translated as "Dying Achilles," created in Berlin in 1884. The statue was then acquired by Empress of Austria Elizabeth of Bavaria and became the centrepiece at her palace Achilleion in Corfu, Greece.

Herter studied at the Academy of Arts in Berlin and later as apprentice of Ferdinand August Fischer, Gustav Blaeser and Albert Wolff as well. Since 1869 he created his own workshop. In 1875 he made a study trip to Italy. Professor Herter was a member of the Berlin Academy of the Arts.
