Jakob Kallenberg
Born in 1530.

Jakob Kallenberg was an artist whose activity encompassed painting and wood sculpture. In 1530, he produced a drawing for a coat of arms of the Von Wattenwyl family. In 1554, he was involved in the revision of Niklaus Manuel’s celebrated “Danse macabre”.
He may also be identifiable with a monogrammist of woodcuts bearing the initials IK. Kallenberg was the father of Samuel Kallenberg, attesting to an artistic continuity within his family.
