Born at Borna, near Leipzig, in the Kingdom of Saxony, in 1865 he was admitted as a student to the Academy Leipzig and from 1868 to 1870 continued his education at the Dresden Academy under , before studying etching with Karl Köpping in Berlin.

He spent some fifteen years in Italy, Greece, and England, documenting the finds of archaeological expeditions, and gaining international recognition as a scientific illustrator and landscape painter; he also worked as a court painter to the Saxon royal family. Otto married Marie Rüdiger, daughter of a pastor of Großdrebnitz, a village he regularly visited to paint. One of his paintings survives there in the Martinskirche. In May to October 1906, Otto’s work was exhibited at the Sächsische Kunstausstellung, a major exhibition in Dresden on the Brühlesche Terrasse. He was appointed a professor and also designed stained glass windows and other interior features for churches. Otto died in 1920 in Dresden, by then in the Weimar Republic. (en)
