Life

Jakob Adlhart the Elder J. enjoyed his training in the workshop of his father Jakob Adlhart the Elder. Ä. in Val Gardena and from 1909 in the Tennengau district town of Hallein. Through his first teacher, Alois Zwerber, he got to know the wide range of styles of historicizing copying, but also dealt with the Secession .

Works

Adlhart mainly created wooden sculptures for church furnishings in Salzburg, Upper Austria and southern Germany. At the height of his work in the 1920s and 1930s, Adlhart created his monumental works for the Sankt Peter monastery ( crucifix , 1925) and in collaboration with Clemens Holzmeister for the Kleine Festspielhaus (marble mime mask over the main entrance, 1926, stone reliefs with mask-wearing genii and figural Jewelry of the Mönchsbergstiege , 1936/37) in Salzburg. Shortly before his death, he completed two medallions for the church of the St. Anna Riedenburg monastery . The crucifix in the dean's parish church in Saalfelden , both side altars (Marien Altar, Holy Family) and eight wooden statues are also by Adlhart.
