David Kandel , including Kandel, Kandell, or Kannel (* 1520 in Strasbourg (); † 1590) was a graphic of the Renaissance . He used his initials DK as a monogram.

Life

David Kandel was the son of a Strasbourg citizen and was probably born in this city too. You know very little about your life. It is known that he married in 1554. In 1587 he is mentioned as the owner of a house.

David Kandel became known through numerous woodcuts with biblical scenes, portraits and animal studies (e.g. the rhinoceros in the cosmography of Sebastian Münster ). His major works, however, were some cards (eg. As a world map, also in Sebastian Münster Cosmographie ) and botanical, others also using plant illustrations authors-built, woodcuts for the Kreuterbuch of Hieronymus Bock .

In Paul H. Mair's gender book, a David Kandler from Strasbourg operates as a printer. It is very likely that the printer Kandler is identical to the artist Kandel.
