Provenienz: Aus einer alten Stuttgarter Privatsammlung. Erworben 1954. Johann Baptist Babel wird 1716 in Pfronten im Allgäu geboren und lernt den Beruf des Bildhauers bei einem lokalen Künstler. Nach langer Wanderschaft und Stationen u.a. in Mimmenhausen, siedelt er 1747, im Jahr seiner Hochzeit mit Katharina Willi endgültig nach Einsiedeln um. Ab dieser Zeit arbeitet er bis ins hohe Alter und fertig Skulpturen u.a. für die Stiftskirche von Einsiedeln und Altäre in Hilfikin, Solothurn, Mainau, Baar, Ettiswil und Sursee. Schöne Vergleiche mit der Engelsfigur zeigen die Gesimsengel in der Stiftskirche von Einsiedeln sowie eine stehende Engelsfigur aus Stein am Klosterplatz in Einsiedeln, alle entstanden in den Jahren um 1746/47 bis 1751. Lit. Peter Felder, Johann Baptist Babel, Abb. 21ff. und 35/36. Wir danken Dr. Albrecht Miller, Ottobrunn für diesen Hinweis.
