Lot 2478 | Johann Peter Schwanthaler
Estimate value
€ 16 000 – 32 000
Paar große Engel Gegenstücke. Lindenholz, geschnitzt und gefasst, rücks. am Körper ausgehöhlt. Auf kleinen Wolkensockeln im Kontrapost stehende, sich nach links bzw. recht wendende, ikonographisch außergewöhnliche, jünglinghaft gestaltete, unbekleidete Engel, die Scham und Hüften rock- bzw. lendenschurzartig durch die großen, niedrig angesetzten Flügel bedeckend und die Hände in lebendig bewegter Pose vor die Brust legend. Die beiden Engel dürften thematisch und aufgrund der Komposition einst einen Altar flankiert haben. Für eine Zuschreibung an Johann Peter Schwanthaler den Älteren sprechen die spezifische Darstellung der Körper, der Gesichtstypus mit leicht geöffnetem Mund und die Fiederung der Flügel. Der spätbarocke, oberösterreichische Künstler entstammte der bedeutenden Bildhauerdynastie, er war der dritte Sohn von Johann Franz Schwanthaler und ein Enkel von Thomas Schwanthaler. 1758/59 übernahm er die Schwanthaler-Werkstatt in Ried noch zu Lebzeiten seines Vaters und führte sie zu künstlerischem und wirtschaftlichem Erfolg. Mit seiner Werkstatt (in der auch sein 1722 geborener Bruder Johann Ferdinand arbeitete) führte er zahlreiche Kirchenausstattungen, Altar- und Einzelskulpturen aus, darunter eine Reihe von Engeln, außerdem Andachtsbildwerke, Kruzifixe und Kreuzigungsgruppen sowie Pietà-Darstellungen und Krippen. Minim besch.; H. 114 cm.
Attributed to Johann Peter Schwanthaler the Elder (1720 - 1795). A pair of large carved, painted limewood and gilt angel sculptures. Minor flaws.
