Franz Sebald Unterberger
Franz Sebald Unterberger (born August 1, 1706 in Cavalese ; † January 23, 1776 there ; often also written Unterperger ) was a South Tyrolean painter of the Baroque .
Life
Franz Sebald Unterberger was the son of Christoph Unterberger (1668–1747), an imperial Unterwald master and barrel painter, and Maria Elisabeth Lieb. Christoph's grandfather Oswald probably immigrated to the Fiemme Valley around 1620 from the Pustertal .
Franz Sebald's brother Michelangelo Unterberger and his nephews Ignaz and Christoph , whose fame Franz Sebald wrongly exceeded , also come from the Unterberger painter dynasty in Fleimstal . According to Nicolò Rasmo , Franz Sebald was undoubtedly the most talented painter of this dynasty.
Unterberger's education took place in a family environment, mainly through his brother Michelangelo, who was eleven years older than him. He experienced a strong stylistic stamping in Venice , with the influence of the painter Giovanni Battista Pittoni (1687–1767) or Giovanni Antonio Guardi (1699–1760), who was also of Trentino descent, to be noted. He spent a large part of his life in Brixen before he spent his old age again in Cavalese. He created numerous altarpieces in South Tyrol , Trentino and North Tyrol .
