Sixt Manfeld

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sixt Manfeld (mentioned 1478–1492) was a Swiss sculptor and carver.

Live and act

Sixt Manfeld (also Maulfeld) was accepted into the Zunft zum Himmel in Basel in 1478 . Since the painters were connected there, he was likely to have mainly made painted carved altars. However, the assignment of individual works proves to be difficult. 1489–1492 Manfeld lived in the canton of Uri .
