Son of a decorative painter, Joseph August Knip grew up in 's-Hertogenbosch. In 1794, the French besieged and captured the town. And at 19 years old he became the family breadwinner after his father went blind. Jospeh spent time passing down his knowledge to his younger sister, artist Henriëtte Geertruida Knip.

In 1801 he established himself in Paris, where he accepted commissions for topographical paintings. He also became drawing master to Napoleon III of France. He spent nine years in Paris. At the end of 1809 he went to Rome, where he remained until 1812. He also travelled, making trips to Naples, the Sabine Hills, the Alban Hills, and the Campagna. Watercolors exist from these trips, from places ranging from Palestrina to Terni. In 1813 he returned to the Netherlands with his wife, the painter Pauline Rifer de Courcelles. He settled in 's-Hertogenbosch, where he worked as a painter. He later lived in Amsterdam and in Paris. He went blind in 1832, after which he was given a pension by William I of the Netherlands.

His daughter, of whom he was the first teacher, was Henriëtte Ronner-Knip, named for his sister.
