  • Jonas Umbach (c. 1624–1693) was a German painter, designer, and engraver. Born in Augsburg, he became cabinet painter to the Bishop of Augsburg, and produced many landscapes with cattle; also kitchen pieces, feathered game, and a few historical subjects in chiaroscuro. He also etched 230 plates of biblical, historical, and mythological scenes and landscapes. Among these there are:

    Christ on the Mount of Olives
    Trains of Children and Nereids
    Two Duck-shooters lying in Wait
    Landscapes with Ruins
    Bacchanals and Infant Sports
    He died in Augsburg in 1693.
    There was a younger Jonas Umbach, but there are no particulars respecting him, except that he drew portraits.
