biography

He was born as the first son of the prince-bishop-of-Eichstätt Guard corporal Augustin Winck and his wife Walburga, nee. Beef, born and entered on January 22nd, 1725 in the baptismal register of the parish of Our Lady. He had six siblings.

It is uncertain where he received his artistic training and where he went on a journey as a journeyman. In 1747 he married Maria Theresia Franziska born in Rottenburg am Neckar . Dosch. Two sons can be identified from the marriage: the later Munich still life painter Johann Wolfgang Amandus Winck (* 1754; † 1817) and the later Eichstätter priest Josef Willibald (* 1756; † 1800).

After his wife's death in 1757, he returned to Eichstätt, where he married the painter and engraver daughter Elisabeth Peschon on February 5, 1762. In 1764 the daughter Rosa Anna was born († 1765); At that time he was already “civis et pictor”, a citizen of the city of Eichstätt and owner of a painter's justice. In 1765 the son and later Eichstätt painter Lucas Willibald Gundekar († 1815) was born.

Around 1752/53 he helped his 13 years younger brother Christian Winck (1738–1797; from 1769 electoral Bavarian court painter) to an apprenticeship with his friend, the painter and fresco artist Anton Scheitler (1718–1791) in Eggenfelden , Lower Bavaria , whom he had previously arranged the marriage with the local painter's daughter Maria Magdalena Maisthuber; the father Augustin Winck came from Unterrohrbach, a place near Eggenfelden. During a stay in Freising, Winck painted a holy grave together with the prince-bishop's court painter Johann Baptist Deyrer . He is also said to have brought the young Ignaz Alexander Breitenauer , the later and last court sculptor of the Hochstift Eichstätt, to the workshop of the local sculptor Joseph Angerer .

He could not have been the court painter of Eichstättisch-prince-bishop, since other artists carried this title during his lifetime.
