Summary "Chodowiecki" by Ludwig Kaemmerer is an artistic monograph written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and works of Daniel Chodowiecki, a renowned Polish-German painter and printmaker, providing an in-depth examination of his artistic contributions and influence. Most notably, it features a plethora of illustrations, including 204 artworks created by Chodowiecki, offering a visual journey through his significant artistic endeavors. The opening of the work establishes the intention of presenting Chodowiecki's life and artistry in a manner accessible to the general public. Through nostalgic reflections, the author recounts the vivid childhood memory associated with a particular engraving that sparked an early interest in art. This passage sets a tone of reverence for Chodowiecki's talent and hints at the emotional connection between the artist's works and the viewer. It highlights his upbringing in Danzig, aspects of his artistic training, and the formative influences that shaped his path as an artist, suggesting that the ensuing chapters will delve into both the technical aspects and the personal history that underscore Chodowiecki's significance in art history.
