Detail Introduction
Worked at Mittenwald (Bavaria), 1750-1786. Name sometimes given as Hofp and Hosz. Possessed a clear and definite notion of what he was aiming at, and attained very desirable conceptions of graceful modelling. Judicious selection of wood came more appropriately under his consideration than many of his contemporaries. Backs frequently very handsome. Reddish brown varnish of warm transparency, quite opposed to the usual Bavarian dull shade, but really brilliant in contrast. Tonal quality distinctively mellow and certainly very respon¬sive as well as being of satisfactory resistance. £30. Also many light-toned violas. ShopsDiscussion board forHosp,Georg (1) |
