Master of the Ebner statues

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sculptor who worked in Nuremberg in the early 15th century is known as the master of the Ebner statues .

The artist, who is not known by name, got his emergency name after the two saints he created for the Church of St. Sebald in Nuremberg . The figures, created around 1417, depict Saint Anthony and Saint Helena and each bear the coat of arms of their donors , the Ebner patrician family, who were important in Nuremberg in the Middle Ages , on their consoles . No further works can be assigned to the master with certainty; together with other simultaneous figures in St. Sebald, the master's style, which is regarded as somewhat rigid, is an example of the status of sculpture and donation in Nuremberg in the 15th century.
