He worked from c. 1555–83 and found increasing success in Augsburg, Nuremberg, and finally in Prague at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, alongside many other Flemish, German, and Italian artists. Although his work was in keeping with his contemporaries, Hornick’s work was among the most adventurous of the Mannerist style. \r\n\r\nThese 276 drawings, mostly just in pen, ink and wash, are mostly attributed to Hornick and his coterie, though some have been identified as the work of the famed goldsmith Wenzel Jamnitzer (1507/08–1585) and others as copies of the work of Italian painter Francesco Salviati (1510–63).","physicalDescription":"Design for a rapier.

He thinks they could have been drawn in Hornick's workshop. These two designs conform with designs of rapiers with enamelled gold hilts which date from the1560s and 1570s. Many examples survive and are in the Historisches Museum in Dresden. According to Hornick, the closest extant rapier hilt is a gold enamelled hilt dates 1571 and attributed to Hans Reser of Nuremburg (located in Munich).","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Drawing, design of a matching sword hilt and sheath end from a set of 276 drawings for silver and goldsmith's work by Erasmus Hornick and other Flemish, German and Italian artists who worked c.1582-3 at the court of Rudolph II in Prague, pen and ink and wash, 16th century","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Silke Reiter, <i>Erasmus Hornick : ein Goldschmied, Radierer und Zeichner des 16.
