1623

Ludolph Büsinck
German, c. 1590-after 1643

Büsinck worked in Paris from 1623 to 1630, and was the first artist in France to make chiaroscuro woodcuts. He created about twenty-four in that period, mostly of religious or genre subjects by Georges Lallemand. His works show the influence of Hendrik Goltzius.
