Benedikt Knup
Born in 1520.

Benedikt Knup was an artist whose activity is documented in Mulhouse, Alsace. His presence is mentioned several times in Basel court records between 1520 and 1527. He is also associated with graphic works, notably drawings bearing his monogram and dated 1531, which are linked to woodcuts in a German edition of Aesop’s Fables published in Freiburg in 1539.
The details of his career and influence remain partly obscure, leaving questions about his oeuvre and his impact in the artistic context of his time.
