Jakob Binck
Jakob Binck / Bink, a German artist, was skilled in engraving, etching, painting, and medal making. He worked for various courts in Northern Europe, including the Danish court, and resided in Antwerp. Binck's artistic style resembled that of the Little Masters group. While it is believed he may have been a pupil of Dürer, his early residence in Italy casts doubt on this assumption. Binck's known paintings are primarily portraits, known for their accurate drawing and artistic taste.
