Hans Hoffmann was the most important German artist of the late sixteenth century working under the continued influence of Albrecht Dürer. Hoffmann’s work was highly valued by private collectors in Nuremburg, the birthplace of both artists. Such was his success that Hoffmann was invited to paint at the court of Rudolph II in Prague. For Rudolph, Hoffmann painted the beautiful Hare in a Forest, now in the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and is an almost faithful replica of Dürer’s celebrated drawing of the same subject now in the Albertina, Vienna.
