Editing Daniel Chodowiecki (section)

==Family==
He was born in the city of [[Gdańsk]] in [[Poland]], and in a letter “in typical Berlin humor” wrote “that he moved to Berlin, Germany, which shows for sure, that he is a 'genuine Pole'.” He kept close to the [[Huguenot]] scene, due to his ancestry.

According to Chodowiecki himself, his Polish [[szlachta|nobleman]] paternal ancestor Bartłomiej Chodowiecki lived in the 16th century in [[Greater Poland]], though this is not confirmed by independent records. Gotfryd Chodowiecki, Daniel's father, was a tradesman in Gdańsk and his mother, Henriette Ayreur, of [[Switzerland|Swiss]] ancestry, was a Huguenot. Daniel's grandfather Christian was also a Gdańsk tradesman, who had moved his business there from [[Toruń]]. When his father died, both Daniel (aged 16) and his younger brother Gotfryd Chodowiecki went to live with their uncle in Berlin, who offered to educate them. In Germany Daniel received artistic training from the painter Haid in [[Augsburg]]. His brother also became a painter.
