Woensam [Wonsam; of Worms], Anton
(b probably Worms, 1493/6–1500; d Cologne, in or before 1541). German woodcutter and painter. His family settled in Cologne c. 1510, and he was probably trained by his father, Jaspar Woensam the elder, who became the banneret of the painters’ guild in 1546. There is evidence that Anton Woensam worked as a woodcutter for book printers in 1517–18. His style was at first influenced by Cologne painting and Antwerp Mannerism, and he may also have been inspired by the Master of St Severin. Later he was influenced by Bartolomäus Bruyn the elder, Joos van Cleve and Albrecht Dürer.
