Ludolph Büsinck

Münden in central Germany between 1599 and 1602, a son of Johann Büsinck and his wife, Kunigunde Voss.

[4] Between 1623 and 1630 he is known to have been in Paris, where he made a number of dated chiaroscuro prints, some of which were published by Melchior Tavernier.

[5] He was the first artist to make chiaroscuro woodcuts in France, and most his works in this technique were based on drawings by the painter Georges Lallemand,[6] although one, probably his first, is after a painting by Abraham Bloemaert.

He is known to have been active as a painter in the 1630s, his works including an altarpiece for the high altar of the church of St John in Göttingen.

[4] His prints include religious subjects, and images of cavaliers, peasants, musicians and beggars.
