Hans Hoffmann

Hans Hoffmann (c. 1530–1591/92) was a German painter and draftsman of the Renaissance, renowned for his naturalistic studies of animals, plants, and landscapes. Active in Nuremberg and Prague, Hoffmann became associated with the court of Emperor Rudolf II, where his meticulous renderings of nature reflected the era’s fascination with science, art, and the natural world.

Hoffmann is best remembered for his exquisite drawings and paintings inspired by Albrecht Dürer, whose detailed approach to nature he emulated and expanded. Works such as Hare in the Forest and his botanical studies are admired for their precision, lifelike textures, and delicate use of color, embodying the Renaissance spirit of observation and inquiry.
