Description
Hans Hoffmann (1530-1591)was a German painter and draftsman of Mannerism. It is believed that Hoffmann had in the Netherlands. 1576 he was living in Nuremberg, where he was mentioned in 1576 in the records of the town-council meetings as the painter Hans Hoffmann, citizen of the town. He quickly became known for his copies after works by Albrecht Dürer. The Paulus Praun collection - a collection by the Nuremberg citizen and art collector contained more than 100 works by Hans Hoffmann. Because the collection was intact until the beginning of the 19th century, many of these works are documented. In 1584 he went to Munich to work on behalf of William V, Duke of Bavaria. In 1585 he was appointed by Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor as a court painter, and who brought him to the imperial court in Prague. Hoffmann is considered the best of the numerous artists who worked in Dürer's style. At the the imperial court, Rudolf advised on the development of his art collection and acquired for him works from the works of Dürer by the friends of his Nuremberg patrician and art dealer and collector Willibald Imhoff.
