Conrad Niemansnarr

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conrad Niemansnarr , also Cunz Niemansnarr (mentioned 1399–1408 in Basel ), was a Swiss sculptor and carver who worked in Basel.

Live and act

Cornard (Cunz) Niemansnarr (Niemansnarr) is mentioned for the first time in 1399/1400 in the invoices of the cathedral factory because of payments for a keystone depicting the martyrdom of St. Stephan in the south transept of Basel Minster . In 1408 he accused the painter Lawelin of having embezzled gold while working on the gilding of the Spalentor.

Possibly identical to the carver Conrad von Sulgen, who acquired Basel citizenship in 1393 or Conrad Snetzer, who is attested to as a member of the Basel spinning weather guild in 1429.
