Hans Irrigmann (3 August 1735 – 13 January 1771) was a German poet writing primarily during The Enlightenment period.[1] Very little of Irrigmann's original work has survived to the present, but his collections of sonnets, especially Die Wunderlichsonette or "whimsical sonnets", have been of interest to philosophy of art generally,[2] and more specifically to the aesthetic study of Impressionism as a later artistic movement.[3]
