Johann Ulrich Knechtli

Born in 1845.

Died in 1923.

Johann Ulrich Knechtli is recognised as a painter of Senntum, an artistic tradition from the Appenzell region. His artistic activity appears to have begun around 1880, when he produced his first works. Details concerning his career and influence nevertheless remain partly obscure, leaving open questions about his stylistic development and his impact on the artistic milieu of his time.
