Heinrich Adolf Valentin Hoffmann
Heinrich Adolf Valentin Hoffmann (* 18th October 1814 in Frankfurt am Main , † 11 June 1896 ibid ) was a German landscape painter .
life and work
Hoffmann (signature: H. Hoffmann ) was a student of Jakob Becker at the Städelsche Kunstinstitut from 1843 to 1850 . He found his motifs mainly in his home in Frankfurt and on excursions in the surrounding area, preferring romantic depictions of forests and historical buildings in medium format. Representations of Swiss mountain landscapes that he painted on study trips are also known. He was known to the artists of the Kronberg painters' colony Antom Burger and Jakob Fürchtegott Dielmann and Philipp Rumpf . The portrait of Georg Büchner , an undated pencil drawing, which is occasionally attributed to him in literature , comes from the Mannheim theater painter August Hoffmann (1807–1883).
One of Hoffmann's students was his son Jakob Hoffmann (1851–1903), who then studied at the academies in Munich and Düsseldorf and also became a landscape painter.
