Master of the goose man
The artist of the Renaissance , whose name is not known for certain , who designed the fountain figure for the goose man fountain in Nuremberg , which was cast around 1550, is referred to as the master of the goose man . The casting was carried out by Pankraz Labenwolf , to whom the design of the fountain and the figure itself were ascribed for a long time.
The figure can also be seen as an example of the collaboration between the designing artist and the performing artisan in this art form. Today it is generally assumed that the artist who designed the figure was the carver Hans Peisser .
Other bronze sculptures are ascribed to the master of the goose man. B. a small-format representation of a "Turk" in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich.
