Joseph August Knip

Joseph August Knip (sometimes Latinized to Josephus Augustus Knip; baptized 3 August 1777 in Tilburg – buried 1 October 1847 in Berlicum) was a Dutch painter.

Son of decorative painter Nicolaas Frederik Knip, who was his first teacher, he moved with his family to 's-Hertogenbosch when he was eleven years old.

He was the first teacher of his younger sister Henriëtte Geertruida Knip.

Watercolors exist from these trips, from places ranging from Palestrina to Terni.

In 1813, he returned to the Netherlands with his wife, the painter Pauline Rifer de Courcelles.
