About Joris Hoefnagel
- Joris Hoefnagel or Georg Hoefnagel (1542, in Antwerp – 24 July 1601, in Vienna) was a Flemish painter, printmaker, miniaturist, draftsman and merchant.
- He is noted for his illustrations of natural history subjects, topographical views, illuminations and mythological works.
- He was one of the last manuscript illuminators and made a major contribution to the development of topographical drawing. His manuscript illuminations and ornamental designs played an important role in the emergence of floral still-life painting as an independent genre in northern Europe at the end of the 16th century.
- The almost scientific naturalism of his botanical and animal drawings served as a model for a later generation of Netherlandish artists.
- Through these nature studies he also contributed to the development of natural history and he was thus a founder of proto-scientific inquiry.
