Ludolph Büsinck (* 1599 in Hann. Münden ; † January 15, 1669 there ) was a German draftsman , shape cutter and painter .

Life

Ludolph Büsinck was born in 1599, according to another source in 1602, in Hann. Münden born as the son of Johann Büsinck and Katharina Voss. After an apprenticeship in the Netherlands as a form cutter and painter, he stayed in Paris from 1623 to 1630 . During this time he made about 40 woodcuts, half of them in chiaroscuro from two to three plates. He mainly adopted the templates from drawings by Georges Lallemant (1577–1636). Some sheets are dated and repeatedly bear the publishing address of Melchior Tavernier. The sheets show influences from Jacques Bellange , Abraham Bloemaert , Jacques Callot and Hendrick Goltzius . In 1630 Büsinck returned to his hometown Hann. Münden back. From the marriage with Katharina Ludwig six children are proven. The son Wilhelm Ludolph Büsinck (1635–1673) also worked as a painter.

No other woodcuts by Büsinck are known after 1630. Only two table works that have not been preserved are secured. In 1636 he made a triptych with a crucifixion scene that was lost after 1790 for St. John's Church in Göttingen . In 1639 he received the order from his hometown to create a history picture showing the capture of Hann. Mündens to be painted by Tilly in 1626 . Büsinck then seems to have built up an existence as a merchant. In 1639 he was accepted into the merchants' guild. In 1647 he was registered as a customs administrator. He died on January 15, 1669 in his hometown.
