(1) Hans [Johann; Johannes] Troschel [Dreschell; Dröschel; Tröschell; Troschell]
(b Nuremberg, 21 Sept 1585; d Rome, 19 May 1628). He trained in Nuremberg with Peter Isselburg, for whom he later worked. Emperor Matthias’s Entry into Nuremberg on 3 July 1612 was one of his first works. Signed and dated engravings and drawings increased after 1616. He worked partly from his own drawings and partly after drawings by Jacques Callot, Bernardo Castello, Matthäus Greuther (1564/6–1638), Hans Hauer (1586–1600), Justinus Hein, Antonio Pomarancio (c. 1567–1629), Lorenz Strauch, Alexander Vajani (c. 1570–fl 1613) and Simon Vouet. As well as portraits and coats of arms he engraved views of Nuremberg, such as the Town Hall and Town Hall with the Wedding Procession of a Nuremberg Patrician, both after Strauch, occasional prints, genre scenes and themes such as the print commemorating the Celebration of the Centenery of the Reformation (1617). His drawings consist mainly of studies of heads and figures, but there are also biblical and allegorical subjects. In the red crayon drawing of a Head of a Youth (1618; Erlangen, Ubib.) spiritual tension permeates the form, which has been elaborated with powerful sculptural effect. In 1624 Troschel moved to Rome, where his work was influenced by Francesco Villamena.
