Hans Hoffmann (painter)

Hans Hoffmann (c. 1530 in Nuremberg – 1591/92 in Prague) was a German painter and draftsman.

[2] By 1576 he was living in Nuremberg, where he was mentioned in the records of the town-council meetings as the painter Hans Hoffmann, citizen of the town.

In 1584 he went to Munich to work on behalf of William V, Duke of Bavaria.

At the imperial court, Hoffmann advised Rudolph on the development of his art collection and acquired for him works by Dürer.
