Johann Konrad Krausser
Johann Konrad Krausser (born March 31, 1815 in Nuremberg ; † January 25, 1873 there ) was a German sculptor .
education
Krausser attended elementary school before starting an apprenticeship with a wood turner. Here his artistic inclination was recognized and he became a student of Carl Alexander Heideloff , where he received drawing lessons, and Jacob Daniel Burgschmiet , who taught him the art of modeling. He also learned from the engraver Albert Christoph Reindel at the School of Applied Arts. During this time he went on a journey as a journeyman craftsman and also practiced the craft of turner a year after his return in order to earn a living. From 1837 to 1839 he studied with Ludwig von Schwanthaler at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, then until 1841 with Ernst Hähnel and Ernst Rietschel at the Art Academy in Dresden . In 1841 he went in Nuremberg independently to include "first in smaller stills the 20 most famous men to form his native city in ore ...." The sketches for the designs of monuments for Hans Sachs and Martin Beheim he was charged with ordering all 20 Figures rewarded. Further orders followed, for example he was supposed to make life-size marble statues of Adam and Eve, or a fountain and figures of Martin Luther or King Gustav Adolf with sword, Bible and crown of thorns in their hands.
