HOPFER, Daniel
HOPFER, Daniel – Daniel Hopfer was a German artist who is widely believed to have been the first to use etching in printmaking, at the end of the 15th century. He also worked in woodcut. Although his etchings were widely ignored by art historians for years, more recent scholarship is crediting him and his work with „single-handedly establishing the salability of etchings“ and introducing the print publisher business model.
