'''Daniel Niklaus Chodowiecki''' (16 October 1726 – 7 February 1801) was a Polish—and later German—[[painter]] and [[printmaker]] with Huguenot ancestry, who is most famous as an [[etcher]].

== Biography ==

He spent most of his life in Berlin, and became the director of the Berlin Academy of Art.

== Invention of the remarque ==

In [[printmaking]], Chodowiecki is credited with the invention of the deliberate ''remarque'', a small sketch on a plate, lying outside the main image.

These were originally little sketches or doodles by artists, not really meant to be seen, but Chodowiecki turned them into "bonus items" for collectors.
