BIOGRAPHY: August Hermann Knoop was a German portrait and genre painter who specialised in the depiction of social scenes from the Rococo period. Knoop was the son of a merchant. He attended the Munich Academy of Fine Arts from 1876 to 1880. On October 9, 1877, he was enrolled in the antiquities class there. In the years 1886 to 1888 he went to Paris to the studio of Fernand Cormon, whose private art school was attracting talented young painters at that time. Knoop then settled in Munich, where he concentrated on motifs taken from the social life of 18th-century aristocrats (Neo-Rococo). Another of Knoop's thematic focuses were scenes with mercenaries and nobles from the Renaissance period. Knoop rarely had his works exhibited, instead selling them directly to private individuals and art collectors, but was represented at an exhibition at the Glass Palace in Munich and at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition.
