Anton Woensam
active c. 1500-1541
The birthdate of Anton Woensam von Worms is unknown but was before 1500, probably at Worms; he died in 1541. His father is first recorded in Cologne in 1510, where he was prominent in the painters' guild after 1514. Anton was probably trained in Cologne where he became a prolific graphic artist. The major local book illustrator, he designed at least 549 woodcuts. Thirty-nine paintings are given to him in the Kisky catalogue. His early works, begun shortly before 1520, show extensive utilization of German, Swiss, and Netherlandish print sources. From 1526 on the artist received many important commissions in Cologne and elsewhere.
