Rudolf König
Born in 1790.

Rudolf König was a painter whose oeuvre belongs to the tradition of the König family of artists. A pupil of his father, Niklaus König, he exercised his talent in Paris between 1810 and 1813, where he also taught drawing. His career was marked by a two-year imprisonment resulting from his involvement in political disturbances in Interlaken in 1814.
