Ludolph Büsinck (c.1600–1669)[1] was a German painter and wood-engraver, born at Hann. Münden in the 1590s. He worked in Paris between 1623 and 1630, where he produced a series of chiaoscuro woodcuts, the first to be made in France.[2] His name is sometimes spelled "Buesinck".

Life

Büsinck was born at Hann. Münden in central Germany between 1599 and 1602, a son of Johann Büsinck and his wife, Kunigunde Voss.[3] He married Katharina Ludwig, with whom, according to baptismal records, he had six children.[3] He may have trained as an artist in the Netherlands.[4]

Between 1623 and 1630 he is known to have been in Paris, where he made a number of dated chiaroscuro prints, some of which were published by Melchior Tavernier.[4] They are boldly cut works in the tradition of the Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius.[5] He was the first artist to make chiaroscuro woodcuts in France, and most his works in this technique were based on drawings by the painter Georges Lallemand,[6] although one, probably his first, is after a painting by Abraham Bloemaert.[5] He is not known to have made any woodcuts after 1630.[4]

He returned to Hann. Münden, where he became a member of the merchants' guild (Kaufmannsgilde) in 1639. He is known to have been active as a painter in the 1630s, his works including an altarpiece for the high altar of the church of St John in Göttingen.[4] In 1647 he is recorded as acting as a customs official.[4]

He died at Münden on 15 January 1669.[4]

Works

His prints include religious subjects, and images of cavaliers, peasants, musicians and beggars.[2][4]

His work is kept in many museums worldwide, including the Ashmolean Museum,[7] the Cleveland Museum of Art,[6] the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art,[8] the Smart Museum of Art,[9] the Harvard Art Museums,[10] the University of Michigan Museum of Art,[11] the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,[12] the Blanton Museum of Art,[13] the Philadelphia Museum of Art,[14] the Bowdoin College Museum of Art,[15] and the British Museum.[16]
