Hermann Knackfuss

Hermann Knackfuss (; August 11, 1848, Wissen, Rhenish Prussia – May 17, 1915) was a German painter and writer on art. He is known for his historical paintings, but his most-recognized work is his illustration on behalf of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, ''Peoples of Europe, Guard your Dearest Goods'', which has become an iconic symbol of the use of the yellow peril to justify European imperialism in Asia at the end of the nineteenth century.
