Hoff, Carl Heinrich the Younger - 1866 Düsseldorf - 1904 Feldberg/Black Forest, was a German portrait, genre, still life, landscape and veduta painter as well as lithographer and graphic artist. From 1878 he studied painting and graphic techniques in Karlsruhe at the Grand Ducal Baden School of Art, where his father taught as a professor. From 1881 to 1904, when he died in an accident on the Feldberg in the Black Forest, Hoff was active as an artist, particularly in Karlsruhe and Dachau, and traveled to France, England and Italy. In 1887, together with Heinrich Deiters, Carl Irmer, Carl Jutz, Franz Stegmann and Max Volkhart, he contributed to the collection of 40 original engravings compiled in an art portfolio, which was published by Estes & Lauriat in Boston in 1888 under the title The Dusseldorf Gallery. In 1892 he lived in Paris, where he created Impressionist-influenced engravings, and in 1897 he visited Volendam in the Netherlands.
