Johann Reindl , also Johannes Reindl and Hans Reindl (born October 25, 1714 in Stams ; † March 22, 1792 ibid) was an Austrian sculptor of the late Baroque and Rococo periods .

Life

Reindl was the son of Martin Reindl and Maria Grasmay (e) r. The sculptor Stephan Föger (1702–1750) was his cousin. From 1732 to 1737 Reindl did an apprenticeship with Augustin Strigl (1702–1746) in nearby Tannrain near Stams. After the death of his teacher in 1746, the young Reindl became his widow's best man . On his wandering (from around 1737) he also came to Kaisheim , the mother monastery of the Cistercians in Stams, and later via Passau to Vienna to Georg Raphael Donner (1693–1741). On July 4, 1745 Reindl returned to Tyrol . In 1753 he married Katharina Schweninger in Stams. The fact that he was also appointed court sculptor that year is now considered refuted. In July 1766 a son of Reindl was confirmed . For several decades he ran a flourishing sculpture workshop in Stams. He died there on March 22, 1792.

Whether the "Constance" Johann Reindl, who created the pulpit of the monastery church in Rheinau (canton Zurich) in 1756 and from whom figures in Kreuzlingen (1769) and Constance (1771) are evidenced, can be equated with Johann Reindl from Stams, has not yet been established become.

Reindl's works are the beginning and climax of the Rococo in the Tyrolean Oberland . Influences from Munich and Vienna can be seen in his figures. Reindl's figures have an elegance that other contemporary artists in the Tyrolean Oberland lack. Urban Klieber (1741–1803) and Joseph Götsch (1728–1793) were among his most important students .
