Addendum: Josephus Augustus Knip (a Dutch artist) was born in 1776 and died in 1847. Willem Alexander Knip (also a Dutch artist) was born in 1883 and died in 1967. Not sure which of these painted the Notre Dame bridge that you are talking about (these and other Knip's all painted stuff in and around Paris)...

Answer 2

wrong museum, or wrong painter.. don't you mean J A Knip?

National gallery, it has the Gere Collection, on long-term loan .

if you speek dutch, then the Rijsmuseum..

Josephus Augustus Knip
(b Tilburg, 3 Aug 1777; d Berlicum, 1 Oct 1847). Painter and draughtsman, son of (1) Nicolaas Frederik Knip. He is the best-known representative of the family. He started out as a wallpaper painter in the workshop of his father and left for Paris in 1801, where he produced mostly landscapes in gouache. In 1808 he married the French porcelain painter Pauline Rifer de Courcelles (1781–1851); the marriage was soon dissolved. Also in 1808 Knip won the Dutch Prix de Rome and spent time in Rome from 1809 on. There he produced over 500 works, primarily wash drawings of monuments and landscapes in and around Rome. These sheets, on which Knip’s reputation rests, are drawn in a severe Neo-classical style with muted colour. They constituted a portfolio, on which he drew for the rest of his life: he combined unconnected motifs recorded in his portfolio, more or less arbitrarily, to compose his later paintings and large gouaches, for example Landscape near Ischia (1818; Amsterdam, Rijksmus.) and View of La Cava (1817; Heino, Hannema–De Stuers Fund.).

i mean there were quite a few knips... http://www.artnet.com/library/04/0469/T046982.asp

Answer 3

Try asking the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam - they know all about that kinda stuff. But I think you may have the initial wrong, I think it's J.A. Knip.
