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 tazza (or wine goblet), a tazza stem, and a spoon.

The spoon handle ends with a female bust surmounted by an attacking panther.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Salviati, Francesco","id":"A28267"},"association":{"text":"Copy after","id":"THES286695"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"pen and ink","id":"x30618"},{"text":"wash","id":"AAT11051"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing","id":"x32498"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pen and ink and wash, on paper","categories":[{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"}],"styles":[{"text":"Italian School","id":"x31264"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2015HN1099","2011EV0249","2018LA0204"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC (VA)","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"M","shelf":"6","box":"A"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"drawings","id":"AAT33973"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Italy","id":"x28927"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"16th century","earliest":"1500-01-01","latest":"1599-12-31"},"association":{"text":"drawn","id":"x30545"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"394","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"273","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"PROVENANCE Bought from T.

M. Whitehead 1867\r\n \r\nLITERATURE J. F. Hayward, 'The Mannerist goldsmiths', part I (Italian sources), and part 3 (Italian influence in the designs of Erasmus Hornick), in <i>The Connoisseur</i>, 149, 1962, pp. 157-64 and 158, 1965, pp. 144- 49 (with illustration of no. 5168) \r\n\r\nThe drawings, when bought in 1867, were bound in a vellum-covered album containing 276 sheets of designs for goldsmiths' work, from which they were subsequently removed. The title-page is dated 156o and states that the drawings illustrate the treasury of the Emperor Rudolf II. This statement is incorrect and was not made, presumably, by the artist or the original owner; but the date may be correct and show when the album was formed. Most of the drawings are of northern origin, and many of them have been attributed by Hayward to the Antwerp goldsmith Erasmus Hornick. Of some of the drawings it is difficult to say whether they were made north or south of the Alps, but the twenty sheets listed below form a fairly homogeneous group that may be attributed to an Italian artist. Hayward has pointed out that thirteen of these Italian drawings are replicas of drawings in the possession of Dr Pirman at Stockholm: there are other replicas in other collections, mostly single sheets. Hayward considers that the existence of such replicas proves that there was a trade in the sale of such drawings as patterns for goldsmiths in Italy and elsewhere. The drawings show many characteristics of Salviati's taste in ornament, but they look like copies. More information on the Hornick album and an account of other similar collections of drawings are given in three articles by J. F. Hayward in <i>The Burlington Magazine</i>, 110, 1968, pp. 200-06 and pp. 383-89; 114, 1972, pp. 378-86.
