Johann Kulik
Violin maker
(1800 – 1872)
Johann (Jan) Kulik was one of the leading Prague violin makers of the 19th century. Born in Domašín near Benešov in Bohemia, he trained first with Karel Šembera in Prague before moving to Vienna in 1820 to work with Martin Stoss. He returned to Prague and established his own workshop in 1824.
Kulik drew extensively on the classical Italian tradition, working from models by Stradivari and members of the Guarneri family. From around 1850, after acquiring an Andrea Guarneri violin, he became particularly associated with that model.
