Franz Serafikus Nißl
Franz Serafikus Nißl (also Franz Seraph , Franz Seraphicus , Franz Seraphikus ; also Nissl ; also Franz Nißl the Younger ; born September 4, 1771 in Fügen ; † June 14, 1855 ibid) was an Austrian sculptor .
Life
Franz Serafikus Nißl received his first training from his uncle Franz Xaver Nißl in Fügen and from 1787 with the sculptor Gratl in Innsbruck . In 1790 he studied with Roman Anton Boos in Munich and at the Academy of Fine Arts . In 1794 he worked as an assistant to Urban Klieber in Innsbruck. In 1796 he worked in an Augsburg workshop and attended the academy there , where he received an award. In 1797 he was in Passau and worked with Christian Jorhan the Younger on marble tombs. He also attended the drawing school directed by Joseph Bergler the Younger . In 1798 he returned to Tyrol and worked in his uncle's workshop, which he continued after his uncle's death in 1804.
Nißl mainly created religious sculptures, especially crucifixes, in wood, along with painted plaster casts and portraits in medal form. His style stands between the academic classicism of the late 18th century and the emerging emotive religious art of the Nazarenes .
