Heinrich Höfer (painter)

Johann Heinrich Höfer (22 October 1825, Eisfeld - 10 February 1878, Munich) was a German landscape and portrait painter.

He set off again in 1851, travelling through Dresden, Prague and Linz, to Styria, where he planned to become a landscape painter.

Through some friends he was introduced to Eduard Schleich, who assisted him, and he was able to make copies of the old Dutch Masters at the Alte Pinakothek.

[1] He also decided to make a systematic study of nature, and made several painting expeditions every year, that took him throughout Bavaria, Tyrolia, and Switzerland.

Their home was a gathering spot for several Munich artists, as well as the architects Georg von Hauberrisser and Albert Schmidt [de].
