Philipp Kilian (1628 – 1693) was a German Baroque engraver.
Biography edit
According to Houbraken, he engraved the portrait of Johann Heinrich Roos, which Roos' teacher Barent Graat sent him when he was writing his Schouburgh.[1] Kilian made the engraving for Joachim von Sandrart, whose Teutsche Academie he illustrated.
According to the RKD, he was the son of the engraver Wolfgang Kilian, and brother to Bartholomaus.[2] Besides engraving Sandrart's portrait, he made engravings after paintings by Karel Skreta, Philippe de Champaigne, and Johann Carl Loth.[2]
