Daniel HOPFER (Kaufbeuren 1470 circa - Ausburg 1536)
|
In 1493 he gained rights as a citizen of Augsburg and was added to the city’s roster of painters and register of taxpayers. He married in 1497. Working in Augsburg during the city’s patronage as a leading humanist centre by Maximilian I, Hopfer was probably the first etcher of armour to pull impressions of etchings on paper. He was known as a designer of ornamental etchings that were applied to armour made in Augsburg, though it is not clear whether he actually etched on the armour; in most cases he probably handed his designs over to armourers who manually applied and etched the ornament. The one surviving piece of signed Hopfer armour, a shield, dates from the year of his death (1536; Madrid, Real Armeria).
