Artist

Hornung

Hornung is a Rococo painting painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.

This artist carved delicate portraits on tiny ivory panels in the late 1700s. Their Portrait of a Man (1780) glows with fine lines and soft shadows, capturing one face against plain backgrounds. The tiny scale and careful detail fit right in with the miniaturists who painted keepsakes for pocket or locket. Tap the ivory to see how light plays across a smooth surface.
