Johann Jacob Gundling in the house book of the Mendel Twelve Brothers Foundation

Johann Jacob Gundling (* around 1666 in Oberkrumbach ; † September 25, 1712 in Nuremberg ; also Johann Jakob Gundling or Hans Jakob Gundling , probably wrongly also by Gundling ) was a German painter .

Gundling comes from the Franconian family of scholars Gundling . He was the eldest son of Wolfgang Gundling . He is said to have been an "honorable and artful painter and counterfactor". At the age of 39, he moved to Mendel's brother house on August 30, 1705 as a “citizen and Mahler” . It is believed that he had epilepsy . The artist died there in 1712.

Gundling married Anna Margaretha, daughter of the Heilsbronn professor Erhard Brecht, in St. Lorenz in Nuremberg on June 10, 1694.

Among other things, he painted the gallery and the figures in the old town parish church in Erlangen in 1696 . The painting of the theater in Heilsbronn Monastery was also one of his works.
