Gumpp came from a widespread family of artists, which can be traced back to Tyrol in the 16th century . He was one of the four sons of the court carpenter and architect Christoph Gumpp the Elder. J. (1600-1672). In Innsbruck, Gumpp was a student of Egid Schor , his brother-in-law, who came to Munich in 1685 to furnish the wedding of the Bavarian Elector Max Emanuel with the Austrian Emperor's daughter Maria Antonia . In Munich he was appointed princely court and chamber painter. Frescoes by him can be found in the St. Florian Monastery , in the Munich Residence , in the Munich Citizens' Hall and in Dachau Castle . In 1685, Gumpp designed a triumphal gate for Max Emanuel's wedding. In Lustheim Palace, the easternmost of the castles in the Schleissheim Palace complex north of Munich, he created four ceiling frescoes , including the fresco in Hall II, which shows the goddess Diana catching the Armenian tiger , in Hall III (punishment of the Ampelos ) and in Hall V. (Diana drives off in her car), for which he was paid on August 28, 1687. The framework architecture there is also attributed to him. He also made the ceiling fresco (Glory of St. Renatus) in the Renatus Chapel south of Lustheim Palace.
