Live and act

Lucas (also Lukas and Lux) Feyerabend, son of the carpenter Jakob Feyerabend, was accepted as a carpenter in the spinning weather guild in Basel in 1712 . After that he worked mainly as a sculptor. In 1729 he also bought into the saffron guild . He later lived in Hamburg . Feyerabend was probably also active in Neuchâtel , since in 1715 he obtained a certificate of good conduct from the mayor and the council with the intention of going there with his wife.

Lucas Feyerabend was the first of his sex to be artistically active. Since 1712 he was married to the engraver Anna Magdalena de Beyer (1677–1741), who published an undated work of costumes. The two were the first parents of the Feyerabend family of painters from Basel, which spanned three generations.
