Johan Bernhard Wittkamp

Johan Bernhard Wittkamp was an artist active in the mid-nineteenth century, with documented creative activity spanning the decade between 1847 and 1857. Known exclusively for his graphic work, eight of Wittkamp’s prints are currently represented in institutional collections.

Wittkamp’s compositions typically address narrative or dramatic subjects. Notable titles held in museum collections include the print Duivel boven een groep stervenden, as well as scenes focused on the character Bruno, such as Bruno en zijn dochter Laura and multiple impressions of Bruno als overwinnaar van het steekspel.
