Jörg Gartner
Jörg Gartner ( bl. Around 1505 - after 1530) was a Lower Bavarian sculptor who had his workshop in Passau .
life and work
The exact dates of Gartner's life are not known. Since only grave slabs have survived from him, his life dates are derived indirectly from them. Gartner's own tombstone made by him has been preserved in Passau ; it is not a figure tombstone, but just an inscription on which the date of death has not yet been carved.
Gartner's main customers were members of the knighthood on the Inn and Salzach as far as the Innviertel , who commissioned him to produce semi-sculptural figure grave slabs with the family coat of arms. The coats of arms were partly worked out by him in different colored marble. The life-size figures are framed by gnarled trunks of leaves, the nature of which enables his works to be identified and attributed.
Among the more important grave monuments for knights, the General Lexicon of Fine Artists from Antiquity to the Present mentions those for
- Friedrich Mauthner (around 1512) in the hospital church in Burghausen
- Jörg Pernpeck in Engelszell Abbey near Schärding
- Jörg Schenk von Neideck († 1504) in the Dominican Church of St. Blasius in Regensburg (around 1520)
- Wolfgang von Aham († 1517) in Stift Reichersberg am Inn
- Degenhardt von Watzmannsdorf († 1506), the production of the tombstone in Kellberg near Passau took place well after his death
- Tristram Fröschel († 1508) in the gentleman's chapel of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Passau
In addition, he also made grave monuments for members of the clergy such as
- Abbot Johannes IV († 1504) in the Aldersbach monastery
- Provost Georg Pernpeck († 1503) in the gentleman's chapel of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Passau
The only example of a grave monument for a woman from Gartner's hand is that of Barbara von Watzmannsdorf, who died in 1520, in Hutthurm near Passau. As an example of a gardener's coat of arms grave plate, reference is made to that of Hans Pockwitz († 1510) in the Elisabethkirche in Wroclaw . As an artist, Gärtner was still caught up in the late Gothic and did not yet take up the ornamentation of the Renaissance.
