After Heinrich Hofmann, German, 1824-1911
“Christ in the Temple”, circa 1900

Heinrich Hofman was one of the preeminent painters of his time. His style of painting was unique but at the same time reflective of traditional art and remained faithful to the great examples of the Renaissance Era. This particular painting is a rendition of one of his most famous paintings, originally painted for the Zwinger Palance in Dresden. Famous personalities such as J. D. Rockefeller had copies made and are currently in the possession of the Riverside Church in New York City.
