Justus Brinckmann (born May 23, 1843 in Hamburg; † February 8, 1915 in Hamburg-Bergedorf) was a German art historian, spiritus rector of the Museum of Art and Crafts in Hamburg and the leading figure when it was founded in 1874. Brinckmann was the son of Heidelberg private lecturer Karl Heinrich Ludwig Brinckmann and Mary Brinckmann, née Justus (1814–1865). He was a great-grandson of Johann Ludewig Engelhard Brinckmann. He first traveled extensively and then studied natural sciences, constitutional law and economics in Leipzig and Vienna. His increased interest in art history during this time was shaped by the approach of Rudolf Eitelberger, the first director of the Austrian Museum for Art and Industry. After completing his law degree in Leipzig in 1867, he was enrolled as a lawyer in Hamburg on January 10, 1868 and remained enrolled as such until 1873. He was also an employee of the Hamburg Correspondents, from 1868 as an art consultant, from 1871 as a reporter in France and then as a political editor.
