'Angesehen' (respected) is the past participle of the verb 'ansehen' (to look at/view). The meaning 'respected' comes from the idea that someone or something is 'angesehen' (regarded/viewed) by others with recognition and respect.
Der Professor ist in seinem Fachgebiet sehr angesehen.
The professor is very respected in his field.
As an adjective, 'angesehen' (respected) usually appears before a noun or after verbs like 'sein' (to be) and 'gelten als' (to be considered). It then describes the positive quality of a person or institution.
Sie arbeitet für eine sehr angesehene Anwaltskanzlei.
She works for a very respected law firm.
The adjective is often used to describe the good reputation of people or institutions. Typical combinations are: 'ein angesehener Arzt' (a respected doctor), 'ein angesehenes Unternehmen' (a respected company), or 'eine angesehene Universität' (a respected university).
Nur die angesehensten Forscher wurden zu der Konferenz eingeladen.

famous
Berühmt mainly means that very many people know someone; recognition may also play a role. Angesehen, on the other hand, emphasizes a good reputation and respect. A person can therefore be angesehen without being known to the general public.
Die angesehene Ärztin wird von ihren Kollegen für ihre gute Arbeit sehr geschätzt.
The respected doctor is highly valued by her colleagues for her good work.
Die berühmte Ärztin ist durch ihre Fernsehsendungen im ganzen Land bekannt.
