Jakob Hoppener
Jakob also Jakobus Hoppener (* end of the 14th century; † after 1453 probably in Lübeck) was a painter documented in Lübeck.
biography
Hoppener is evidenced as a painter by his property. From 1405 until the handover to his son, he had a house in the medieval Lübeck artists' quarter at the horse market halfway between the Lübeck town hall on the market and the Lübeck cathedral . In 1426 he was listed in the will of his painter colleague Walter Iven as executor. According to the Lübeck Niederstadtbuch, a payment of 50 Marks Lübisch for the year 1430 , which the Lüneburg councilor Schellepeper made to him, is documented.
From the good location of the property, the trust of an official colleague and the presumed sale of a work of art in another Hanseatic city, art historians inferred the reputation, success and importance as an artist at that time. Only a specific work of art could not be assigned to the painter. In this respect, only assumptions have been made. Rudolf Struck pointed out the possibility that he could have made the reliquary around the golden tablet for the Michaeliskirche in Lüneburg , which has so far been assigned to the master of the golden tablet . He is also mentioned as a possible master of the Jacobial tar . Due to the similarity of this altar to the former Gothic main altar of the Marienkirche in Lübeck, the master of the Jakobialtar was partly regarded as a student of the master of the (former) high altar of the Marienkirche in Lübeck or as one and the same person.
