Martin Vinazer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Vinazer (* 1674 in Ortisei in Val Gardena ; † 1744 there ) was a South Tyrolean carver and sculptor from the Val Gardena artist dynasty Vinazer.

Life

Vinazer was born in 1674 as the youngest son of the sculptor Melchior Vinazer in Pescosta in Val Gardena . After training in the home workshop with his eldest brother Baldasar, he stayed for eight years in Venice and Rome , as is evident from a request from him to the city magistrate of Bolzano to be accepted as a Bolzano citizen. He later settled in Überwasser in Hof Bleje . A nephew, the son of his son Mathias, named Giuseppe Antonio Vinazer (* Bulla 1749; † Toledo 1804), moved to Spain, where he enjoyed a great reputation as a stonemason. He is well known in Toledo under the name of José Antonio Finacer .

Works

Together with his brother Dominikus Vinazer (1666–1736), Martin Vinazer created several altars in Bozen and in the Eisack Valley . Significant works by Martin Vinazer are exhibited in the museums of Ortisei in Val Gardena , in the City Museum of Klausen, in the Diocesan Museum in Bressanone and in the Austrian Museum of Folklore in Vienna. Further works can be found in numerous churches in South Tyrol: Reliquary busts from 1715 in the Mariaheimweg Church in Bozen, a statue of a saint in Sumersberg Palace in Gufidaun, the main altar of the Castelrotto parish church Apostles Peter and Paul, another statue of Saint Nepomuck in Bozen and a Christ in the parish church in Klausen, in the parish church of St. Peter near Laion . The Chiesa della Madonna di Lourdes church, built in 1890 in the Roa Castello Tesino district , contains the work Cristo morto deposto dalla croce by Martin Vinazer.
